Virtual Kozukue 33 Kannon Pilgrimage in Yokohama #24 Fukuju-in Temple

     In 1671, Yamashita Ichiemon spared 5 ares of his field, with permission from the then lord, Takagi Morihisa (1599-1679), and Priest Choken (?-1689) founded Fukuju-in Temple in the premises.  The main deity is the Acala statue.

     The temple also has the Kannon-do Hall, which enshrines the statue of Ekadasamukha, who has 11 faces.  Some argue that the hall was founded by the end of the 16th century, and that it is far older than the temple itself.

     Among Kozukue 33 Kannon Pilgrimage member temples, only Fukuju-in Temple is located in Machida City, Tokyo Prefecture.
