Kutodera Temple
〒036-8244 青森県弘前市坂元山元１
This temple is the first station of the Tsugaru 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and one of the five major Shingon temples in the Tsugaru region. It is known for a ghost painting titled 'Kaikonko no Zu' (The Incense of Returning Souls), attributed to the artist Enso Eki, and for the Oshira-kō ritual.
History
The predecessor of Kutodera was Kofukuji Temple. It was relocated to Ozawa Village by Enchi and renamed Kozawazan Kannon-in Kyudoji. Later, the lord of the Tsugaru Domain changed the mountain name to Gokuzan. Today, it is a temple of the Chisan school of Shingon Buddhism.

What visitors say
As the first station of the Tsugaru 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, the temple maintains the Oshira-kō faith, which venerates a pair of wooden male and female figures made from mulberry wood as the sacred object. During the grand festival held every May, Oshira-sama (sacred wooden figures) brought from various localities are displayed in a row. As the temple is located on a hill, visitors must climb a set of stairs to reach it, but a parking lot is available on-site.
