Shingisan Asagobokoji (Asagobokoji Temple on Mount Shigi)
日本、〒636-0923 奈良県生駒郡平群町信貴山２２８０−１
This is the head temple of the Shingisan Shingon sect, commonly known as the "Bishamonten-san of Mount Shigi." Within the temple grounds, torii gates stand in a row, a remnant of the historical syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism.
History
According to tradition, Prince Shotoku founded the temple in 587 CE (Yomei 2), enshrining Bishamonten (the god of war and wealth) as the main deity. In 910 CE (Engi 10), the monk Meiren Shonin organized the temple complex. Because the temple is said to have cured Emperor Daigo of an illness, it was granted the imperial title "Asagobokoji." The temple burned down completely during the Sengoku period, but the main hall was rebuilt in 1599 CE (Keicho 4) by Toyotomi Hideyori.

What visitors say
The temple grounds are spacious, with statues and paper cutouts of tigers placed throughout, allowing visitors to enjoy a walk while searching for them. It is known as a power spot where a large tiger paper cutout greets visitors, and because it enshrines Bishamonten, it is believed to bring benefits for financial luck and success in competitions. Goshuin (temple seal stamps) can be obtained at multiple locations, and it is convenient to use the map from the tourist information center when exploring the vast grounds.
