A temple of the head mountain Shugendō sect, believed to be the birthplace of En no Gyoja. It is known for pioneering the worship of a 'moe' (cute) character as a deity.
History

What visitors say
The grounds feature the Kumano Gongen Shrine, reflecting the historical coexistence of Shinto and Buddhism, a large tree said to be inhabited by a deity, and the birth bath well of En no Gyoja. Statues of En no Gyoja are enshrined in the main hall and the Gyoja Hall. Festivals such as the 'Great Tondo' in January and the 'Shimotsuki Festival' in November attract Yamabushi (mountain ascetics) from across the country, creating a lively atmosphere.
