Kaiun Fudo Myo & Shunkoji Temple Fudo Myo
Heading down the valley after visiting Mudo-ji Temple in the Kunisaki area of Oita, Kyushu, I stopped at a small roadside shrine with a large Fudo Myo-o statue.
This was Kaiun Fudo Myoo, a Fudo known for changing your fortune and luck to good. My guess is it is a fairly modern statue.
A narrow road leads up a small side valley to a cluster of three temples, one being Shunkoji Temple.
Shunkoji Temple also had numerous Fudo statues.
Though I was walking the Kyushu Fudo Myo Pilgrimage, Shunkoji was not a part of the actual pilgrimage, though the whole area of Kunisaki is an ancient Yamabushi site, so Fudo statues are plentiful.
Shunkoji lays claim to a connection with Kobo Daishi, so in the next post I will explore that connection and the temple.
