History
Fumonnji, the temple of universal gates, opens its doors equally to all who seek salvation. Hidden in Toyohashi's mountains, this sanctuary has welcomed countless devotees of the Bodhisattva's many forms. The Kannon manifests in ten gates, each answering particular suffering with compassionate remedy. Here, no soul is turned away—all receive the blessing of impartial deliverance.
