History
Established as a place of worship for Fudo Myoo, this sacred institution has long served as a spiritual training ground for practitioners. The fierce prayers of the deity enshrined in flames have guided many through their tribulations. As a guardian of Ashikaga's esoteric Buddhist traditions, this temple maintains its spiritual significance.
