Hokuzan Fudo-in

An independent temple affiliated with the Tendai sect, known as Hokuzan (Northward-Facing Mountain) because its main deity, the statue of Fudo Myoo (Acala), faces north toward the capital of Heian-kyo. It houses a seated statue of Fudo Myoo designated as an Important Cultural Property.
History
The temple's origins are said to date back to 1120 CE (Daichi 5), when Emperor Toba, suffering from illness, requested the monk Kakun to perform healing prayers. During this ritual, Fudo Myoo appeared, and the Emperor recovered. Subsequently, by imperial decree, the temple was founded with Kakun as its founding monk and designated as a temple under imperial protection. To protect Heian-kyo, the statue of Fudo Myoo was oriented north, giving the temple its name, Hokuzan.
