福島県会津若松市慶山２-７-２３, Aizu Wakamatsu, Keizan

The main statue besides Fudo is a Holy Kannon Bosatsu 聖観音菩薩.

According to legend is was promoted by the daimyo Hoshina 保科正之 and founded the Zen Master 機外昭鑑禅師.

The statue of Fudo had been venerated at the temple 成就院 but after the Meiji Restoration most Buddhist statues were re-located to the temple Dairyu-Ji by the priest 太宗玄義和尚 and the worship of Fudo was revived.
Most visitors were the elderly, so now it is known as the "Fudo who grants a long life".
They often come on the Fudo day of the rooster 酉（とり）or on the 28th of a month, the Day of Fudo Myo-O.
