Virtual New Mutsu 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #30 Hoda-ji Temple

 

     Fudaraku-ji Temple was founded in 890 near the sea in Ozawada, Akasaka, Kesen County, Mutsu Province.  The area around the temple used to be a sea inlet, and the temple grounds were often washed away by waves during rough seas, and the temple gradually declined.

     In 1501, Kumagai Naomoto, who was the lord of Hosoura Fortress, and who was subject to the Kasai Family, was sorry for the temple's decline, moved it to his fortress, and revived it.  He invited Priest Ryoha, renamed it Fuda-ji, and transferred it to Caodong Chan School.

     Priest Bun'an moved the temple to its present place in 1538.
