Fudōji (Fudoji Temple)

〒929-0413 石川県河北郡津幡町倶利伽羅リ−2

4.3(783)

A special head temple (betsugaku honzan) of the Koyasan Shingon sect located in Tsubata Town, Ishikawa Prefecture. The principal image is Kurikara Fudō Myō-ō, a deity representing the 'black dragon of complete fortune and virtue.'

History

According to tradition, the temple's origins date back to 718 CE (Yōrō 2), when Kurikara Fudō Myō-ō was enshrined by imperial decree from Emperor Genjō. In 812 CE (Kōnin 2), Kūkai carved a Fudō statue identical to the principal image and founded Ryōgakuji as a bettōzan (a temple managed by a bettō, a lay administrator). The temple was later revived by Minamoto no Yoritomo. It was closed during the Meiji era due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, but was restored in 1949 CE (Shōwa 24) as Kurikara Fudōji.

What visitors say

Located in a remote mountainous area near the summit, the temple is known for its excellent views. The grounds are spacious and house many statues. The mountain path features steep gradients, so caution is required when accessing the site by car during winter snowfall. A dining hall on the premises serves local specialties such as Kurikara soba (buckwheat noodles) and, during colder months, oden (a Japanese hot pot dish).
