Fudo Myo at Fudo-ji Temple

 


At more than 400 meters above sea level, Fudoji is a small Shingon temple close to the top of Mount Kurokami near Takeo in Saga.


A few hundred meters down the road  below Saikomitsu Temple, once a major Shugendo center and I am guessing Fudoji was/is a sub temple connected to Saikomitsu.


As would be expected there are numerous Fudo Myo statues around the temple and along a path that leads further up the mountain.


What it leads to, a giant cliff carving of Fudo, I will cover later.


There were also numerous other statues, and these too I will cover in the next post.


Saikomitsu was having a ceremony the next day which explains all the fresh flowers with the statues.


The previous post was.Saikomitsu Temple.
