History
Standing at the center of Tsuchiura, this temple embodies the fierce flame of Fudo Myoo, the Immovable King. His wrathful fire burns away wickedness and mental defilements, purifying the body and spirit of all pilgrims. As guardian of esoteric Buddhist teachings, it has received deep devotion through the ages, and its purifying flames remain as potent as ever.
