Ushifuku-ji Temple

〒399-0023 長野県松本市内田2573

4.3(501)

A temple of the Shingon Risshu sect located in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, long known as a center for Shugendo (mountain asceticism). It boasts rich cultural assets, including Important Cultural Property Buddhist statues, and natural beauty, such as the beech forest designated as a Natural Monument of Matsumoto City.

History

According to temple tradition, the site originated when Prince Shotoku enshrined a statue of Kannon that he had carved himself on Mount Hachifuku. The name 'Ushifuku-ji' is said to derive from an incident in 756 CE when an ox carrying sutras collapsed at the location. Currently belonging to the Shingon Risshu sect, the temple relocated to its present site in 1534. Long recognized as a Shugendo temple, it is renowned for its large scale and significant cultural properties within the prefecture.
