Narita, Chiba / 成田山新勝寺
Naritasan Shinshoji Temple
Known as "O-Fudo-sama of Narita", one of the three great Fudo temples of Kanto and popular with visitors from abroad; about 3 million people come in the first three days of the New Year and about 10 million a year. It is the head temple of the Shingon Chisan sect. Its principal image, a Fudo Myoo carved by Kobo Daishi, was brought from Kyoto by the priest Kancho to quell the Taira no Masakado rebellion, and the temple was founded in 940. Five Edo-period buildings, including the Komyodo, Shakado, three-storey pagoda and Niomon gate, are Important Cultural Properties, and the 165,000 m2 Naritasan Park lies to the east.
