神宮寺
This is one of the Rokugo Manzan Temples that is said to be opened in Yoro 2 (718) by Ninmon. It seems that it used to have many visitors and monks in the past. It is located in the middle of Mt. Odake, and it has a main hall, a kitchen, an auditorium, and a Rokusha Gongen. In the main hall, Fudomyooh is enshrined. The temple was burned due to a fire caused by the ritual in the Meiji Era, and the storage cabinet stores valuable treasures, such as Buddha statues and Buddhist instruments that survived the disaster. Also, because it is located in a high place, visitors can enjoy a magnificent view of the Seto Inland Sea.
