History
Daifuku-ji, known as the Murota no Taki Fudōson, is a mystical temple enshrined beside a waterfall. Fudo Myoo is enshrined here, and it is said to grant benefits of exorcism and good fortune. The quiet environment surrounded by nature purifies the hearts of visitors. The time spent praying to Fudo Myoo while listening to the sound of the waterfall is exceptional. This temple is believed to grant the strength to overcome difficulties.
