History
A powerful Fudou temple stands in Nagatoro, Nagatoro, honoring the great Acala Buddha. For millennia, the Acala deity's might has protected this land's people from evil. The Nagatoro cliffs themselves seem to symbolize Acala's power, guiding people with an immovable spirit. This temple's strength is unshakeable, yet gentle, welcoming all souls.
