Takitani Fudo Myo-o Temple
This training hall was opened by Kobo Daishi in the 12th year of the Kōnin era (821 AD) during the Heian period to pray for the safety of the nation and the happiness of the people.
The principal image of the temple, Acala, and his attendant deities Kongara Doji and Seitaka Doji are revered as sacred images of the Great Master's one-stroke, three-respect technique, and all have been designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.
As a place of prayer since ancient times, Homa prayers are held every day in the main hall. Widely known as "Takiya no O-Fudo-san," many people come to pray for business prosperity, good fortune, protection from evil, and more. The temple is also famous for the ancient belief in "loach floating."
