History
Kongodo Teradera is an ancient temple enshrined on Mount Asama in Ise. Mount Asama has been revered as a sacred mountain since ancient times, flourishing as a place of spiritual practice where pilgrims to Ise Jingu purified their body and spirit. From the mountain's summit overlooking Ise Bay, this location truly connects heaven and earth as a sacred domain. Many ascetics and pilgrims have offered prayers here, finding peace in their hearts. This temple frequently receives visits from those seeking communion with the sacred air infused in the mountain.
