Virtual Yashima Domain 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #3 Fukuo-ji Temple
Fukuo-ji Temple was founded in 712 in Yashima. Yashima had a reverse route to Mount Chokai and had 18 temples which organized and supported the Mount Chokai Pilgrimage. Fukuo-ji Temple was the leader of the temples.
In 709, Ideha County was established at the northern end of Koshi Province. Ideha Fortress was supposedly built around that time at the estuary of Mogami River. Ideha County was separated from Koshi Province and was promoted to province, which was changed to Dewa Province by the end of the 12th century, in 712. In 733, Ideha Fortress was relocated north, or advanced, to Akita at the estuary of Omono River at about 100 kilometers from its original place.
That means Fukuo-ji Temple could have been founded by northern foreigners.
