Sefukuji Temple was established shortly after Buddhism was openly introduced to Japan, on the orders of the 29th emperor. The principal object of worship enshrined within is the statue of the bodhisattva Miroku, who encourages us all to live positively. Additionally, the temple also enshrines the bodhisattva Monju who spreads wisdom, enshrined as a statue by the priest Gyoki, and an 11-faced, many-eyed and many-armed statue of the bodhisattva Kannon erected by Gyoki's disciples. From a site to pray for safety at sea, it has gradually evolved toward a spiritual connection with safety and health in the journey of life. The only Bato Kannon statue in Japan with the bottoms of its feet visible helps to watch over visitors' footsteps. Meanwhile, the Great Hochigai Kannon leads visitors' lives in a positive direction. The temple reveres Ganzan Daishi, an ancient priest, father of omikuji fortunetelling and posthumous known as a deity of purification, as well as the Makio Seven Lucky Gods and the Makio Junishi zodiac and fortune telling system.
