Fukutsu-ji Temple

越前町朝日7−61

A standalone Shingon Buddhist temple located in Echizen Town, Fukui Prefecture, enshrining the Kannon Bodhisattva as its principal image. It is also designated as the 9th station of the Hokuriku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.

History

Traditionally founded in 717 CE (Yōrō 1) by the Great Master Daichō, the temple was once a large complex featuring seven halls. It was burned down during the turmoil associated with Oda Nobunaga's invasion of Echizen, though the Kannon statue survived. It continued to be venerated as the village's 'Kannon Hall' through the Edo period and beyond. In 1982 CE (Shōwa 57), the Kannon Hall (main hall) and the Senju Kannon Hall were rebuilt.
