Shippoutaki-ji
〒598-0023 大阪府泉佐野市大木８
A head temple of the Shingon Kune-ryu sect located in Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture. It is known as the fundamental training ground for Katsuragi Shugendo. The temple grounds feature seven waterfalls and ascetic practice sites, including the 'Waterfall of the Ascetic,' creating a landscape characterized by the strong fusion of Shinto and Buddhist elements.
History
According to tradition, the temple was founded in the 7th year of the Kei Mei era (661 CE) by En no Gyōja. In the early Heian period, it was named 'Shippoutaki-ji' (Seven Treasures Waterfall Temple) in connection with prayers for rain. During the reign of Emperor Uda, the mountain name was changed to 'Inunaki-yama' (Barking Dog Mountain) based on a legend about a loyal dog. The temple experienced decline during the Sengoku period when its lands were confiscated, but it was restored in the Edo period. In 1950, the headquarters for Shugendo was established at the temple.
