Ryūfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Asahi, Japan
The temple features several structures including a Niōmon gate, Hondō main hall, Dainichiden chapel, Kannon-dō chapel, and Daishi-dō chapel within its grounds.
Established in 788 AD by Buddhist priest Kūkai, the temple suffered complete destruction by fire during the Sengoku period conflicts near Mibiro Castle.
The temple belongs to the Shingon Chizan Sect and houses a Fudō-myōō statue, which draws followers from local residents and fishermen along Kujukuri Coast.
Located four kilometers north of Iioka Station on the JR East Sōbu Main Line, visitors can access the temple using regular bus services.
Multiple waterfalls surround the temple complex, where genjibotaru fireflies appear near the Hondō during late May and June.
