About this spot

An ancient temple known nationwide as a rare sacred site for waterfall ascetic practices, with the principal Buddhist image of Fudo Myoo carved within the waterfall that flows down the rock cliff. The temple grounds are surrounded by trees and enveloped by the sound of the waterfall and a solemn, refreshing atmosphere. Even in the height of summer, the area around the waterfall remains cool, and visitors can feel nature's refreshing touch while offering prayers. It is a fitting place to start your day with a calm mindset before the night's fireworks.
