Sugaya Fudōzon (Sugaya-ji Temple)
〒959-2511 新潟県新発田市菅谷８６０
A Shingon sect temple of the Daigo school, often cited as one of the three great Fudōzon (statues of Fudō Myō-ō) in Japan. It is renowned for its efficacy in treating eye diseases, attracting pilgrims from all over the country.
History
It is said to have been founded by Shōnin Gonen, the uncle of Minamoto no Yoritomo. Gonen, while fleeing from Mount Hiei, carried the head of a Fudō Myō-ō statue on his back and traveled across various provinces. In 1185 CE (Bunji 1), he established a small temple in Echigo Province. The founding by Gonen in the early Kamakura period is considered a historical fact.

What visitors say
Visitors frequently praise the impressive carvings and pillar designs in the main hall, as well as the strong energy felt within the temple grounds. At the 'Mitarase no Taki' (Mitarase Waterfall) located in the rear, one can touch the water, which is believed to be beneficial for eye ailments.
