History
Shifuku-ji is an ancient temple located on Mount Makio, known as the Fourth Station of the Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage Sites in Western Japan. This temple, enveloped in the spiritual energy of the mountain, is a sacred place where many monks have practiced their discipline. The view from the main hall at the end of a steep mountain path is exceptional, purifying the hearts of visitors. Pilgrims seeking the protection of Kannon continue to visit this place of remarkable spiritual efficacy.
