Daisi-do (Grand Master Hall) and Stone Buddhas of the Shikoku 88 Pilgrimage Sites

若狭町天徳寺

A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect located in Wakasa Town, Fukui Prefecture. It enshrines the horse-head deity Kannon (Bodhisattva of Compassion) and is known for the famous water source 'Uribori-no-Taki' (Watermelon-Splitting Waterfall) and the 'Shikoku 88 Pilgrimage Sites Stone Buddha Sacred Ground.'

History

The temple's origins are said to trace back to the Yojo era, when the Grand Master Taisho carved and enshrined a statue of the horse-head deity Kannon. During the Tenryaku era, the horse-head deity Kannon manifested auspicious signs, prompting the construction of the hall by imperial decree from Emperor Murakami. Another theory suggests the temple originated from water deity beliefs associated with the spring at the entrance.
