Nan'in
高野町高野山６８０
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, serving as a special head temple and also a sub-temple (tato) and lodging temple (shukubo) of Kongobuji.
History
Founded by the monk Shisho Shin Ko Soju of Nan'in, a sub-temple of Todaiji. The main deity, Namikiri Fudo Myoo (Wave-Cutting Fudo), is traditionally said to have been carved by Kukai to calm a storm during his return from Tang China. Originally enshrined at the San'no-in within the Danjo Garan complex, it was transferred to this temple during the Heian period by the abbot of Nan'in, Ihan Daitoku.

What visitors say
The main deity, Namikiri Fudo Myoo, is enshrined in the back of the main hall, allowing for close-up worship. Outside the main hall is an outer area (gaichin) featuring a ceiling painting of a roaring dragon (meiryu); it is said that when you bow your hands in prayer, the sound resonates like the roar of a dragon. Various types of Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) are available, including those featuring the temple's poem (goeiga). Since the nearest route bus may be suspended, it is convenient to visit while checking the surrounding guide signs.
