Fushigi Kannon Shakuson-ji

〒384-0071 長野県小諸市大久保2250

4.4(814)

A Tendaishu (Tendai) temple located on Mount Fushigi, also known as Fushigi Kannon. It is the 29th site of the Shinano 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and is renowned as the birthplace of the legend 'Led by the Ox to Shinkoji.'

History

Founded in the first year of the Shoki era (724 CE) during the Nara period by the monk Giki, it is said to enshrine a statue of Kannon (Avalokiteshvara) created by Prince Shotoku. The temple was burned down during the Sengoku period by Takeda Shingen but was later rebuilt by Mochizuki Saemon-no-Suke Nobumasa. In the late Edo period, Makiya Yasuaki restored most of the current buildings.

What visitors say

The approach to the temple involves a 20 to 40-minute hike up a steep mountain path, featuring numerous wooden and stone Buddha statues and the 'Ox Rock.' The Kannon Hall, built on a sheer cliff, offers a breathtaking view, and the main hall provides a vista of Mount Asama. Due to slippery footing, wearing sneakers or using a walking stick is recommended. Pre-written Goshuin (shrine/temple seal stamps) are available.
