History
Fudoin is a Shingon Buddhist temple that enshrines Fudō Myōō (Acala) as its principal deity. Although Fudō Myōō is known for his fierce, flame-enveloped expression, he possesses a compassionate heart devoted to saving all sentient beings. In Hiroshima, the temple has been revered as a spiritually efficacious place that burns away people's earthly desires and protects them from calamities. It is particularly known for its benefits in healing illnesses and warding off misfortune, and many visitors come seeking peace of mind.
