- quote wikipedia Jingū-ji -
Until the Meiji period (1868–1912), the jingū-ji (神宮寺, shrine temple)
were places of worship composed of a Buddhist temple and a Shintō shrine, both dedicated to a local kami. These complexes were born when a temple was erected next to a shrine to help its kami with its karmic problems. At the time, kami were thought to be also subjected to karma, and therefore in need of a salvation only Buddhism could provide.
Having first appeared during the Nara period (710–794), jingū-ji remained common for over a millennium until, with few exceptions, they were destroyed in compliance with the Kami and Buddhas Separation Act of 1868.
Seiganto-ji is a Tendai temple part of the Kumano Sanzan Shinto shrine complex, and as such can be considered one of the few shrine-temples still extant.

Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection of Asian Art



Fudo Myo-o (Achala Vidyaraja)
Japan; Heian (794-1185) to Kamakura (1185-1333) period, late 12th century
Cypress wood with traces of pigment and cut gold leaf
H. 19 1/4 in. (48.9 cm)

Fudo Myo-o ("Immovable Wisdom King") is the most important of a group of five deities, each of whom represents the wrathful energies of a Buddha and has the power to convince the reluctant to accept the Buddha's teachings. Fudo Myo-o is an emanation of Dainichi (Vairochana), the Cosmic Buddha. This image of Fudo Myo-o was once part of a group of five sculptures and would have been placed in the center of the other four myo-o ("wisdom kings").

Fudo Myo-o's dark skin, fierce expression, fangs, and bulging eyes indicate his power to vanquish all demons. His sword cuts through delusion and the lasso he carries pulls even the most wayward beings toward the path of salvation. The statue was made of Japanese cypress (hinoki) using the joined woodblock method of construction. In this technique, different parts -- such as the head, hands, feet, and torso -- were carved from separate pieces of wood, the head and torso were hollowed out, and then the pieces were assembled. After joining, the sculpture was covered with a gessolike material and painted and decorated with cut gold and silver leaf (kirikane).

横浜市中区野毛町の成田山横浜別院
Kanagawa-ken, Yokohama-shi, Naka-ku, Nogechō, 3 Chome

- quote
The treasured Buddha statue of the Tokugawa family, Fudo Myo-o, which is said to fulfill people’s wishes is enshrined.
The temple is located on a hill, and offers views of the town of Noge and the Minatomirai area. The temple grounds also include Daishido (Founder’s Hall) where Kobo Daishi (another name for Kukai) is enshrined, Inarido, and old Buddha statues offering an enjoyable walk.

This is not a temple that is steeped in ancient history. It was set up around 150 years ago in 1870 as a satellite temple in Yokohama to the very famous Shinsho-ji Temple in Narita, near Narita airport. Apparently, this temple is famous as a holy ground for the warding off of bad omens and other kinds of evil influences. One can’t help wonder when looking at the historical timeline, how much the arrival of Commodore Perry and his black ships in Yokohama Bay influenced its hasty creation.

The buildings and statues here are not ‘ancient’ by any means, but they are quite old. This is a largish neighborhood-type temple where local business people and residence come to pray from time to time during the year. Indeed, you might be surprised at how completely surrounded by office buildings and apartment buildings the temple has become over the years. It is quite busy at the year-end and year beginning as people visit to celebrate and pray for the health and success of themselves and loved ones. They also come to buy the temple’s amulets and talismans, good luck charms that are said to be popular in the area.

Walk around the grounds and take note of the various building that house statues and alter. The temple has quite a few smaller outdoor statues as well, many of them dressed in red. Like many temples and shrines in Japan, the temple also sells food and drinks—depending on the season and whether or not a festival or ceremony is in progress.

The temple was under construction when Typhoon 18 hit the Kanto region in October 2014.

- quote
Powerful typhoon leaves 7 dead, 5 missing, in deluge of record rainfall
The 18th typhoon of the season blew itself out after racing across the Japanese archipelago, claiming seven lives, injuring 49 others and leaving five missing.

The typhoon, known as Phanfone outside Japan, made landfall in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, just after 8 a.m. on Oct. 6. It swept across central Japan, bringing heavy rains and triggering mass evacuations, before re-entering the Pacific Ocean off the east coast of Ibaraki Prefecture around 1 p.m.



A 25-year-old Buddhist monk was confirmed dead on Oct. 7 after he was found under a collapsed hall of the Naritasan Yokohama Betsuin temple in Yokohama's Naka Ward that was hit by a landslide on Oct. 6.
...
Yokohama recorded 310 mm in the 24 hours until 10:40 a.m. that day. Nine locations in Ibaraki, Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures were lashed with record rainfall in a 24-hour period.

青森県青森市栄町１-４-２４
1 Chome-4-24 Sakaemachi, Aomori Town

This temple is the sub-temple of Narita san in Chiba, main temple of Aomori.
The Chinese characters for the name 青森寺 usually read 青森 Aomori.

. Narita Fudo 成田不動尊 .
Temple Shinshooji 新勝寺 Shinsho-Ji

The main statue is the beneficial Fudo Myo-O 大聖不動明王.

In September 1888 the permission from the Head Temple in Narita was given to built a hall for Fudo Myo-O 青柳に不動堂 and hold rituals there.
The Hall was very popular and soon in 1908 the temple was build.
Pilgrims came from all over Northern Japan to pray here.
But during WW II, in the air raids of July 1945 most buildings were lost to fire.

All parishioners and friends of the temple collected money for the reconstruction, so in July 1957 a bigger and more beautiful Hall could be erected and the statue of Fudo Myo-O seated there.
Soon more buildings followed for the appeasement of local deities, 稲荷堂 Inari-Do for the Inari Fox Deity, 清瀧権現堂 Seiryu Gongen Do (for the Blue/Green Dragon Deity).

The most important festivals are the Setsubun Throwing of Beans in February and the Floating of Lanterns in July.

青森県つがる市木造吹原屏風山１-２４４
Byōbuzan-1-244 Kizukuri Fukihara, Tsugaru

The village of Kizukuri 木造町 in in the middle of the reclamation land of Tsugaru, but information about the founding of this temple is scarce.

It may have been founded by Kukai Kobo Daishi.
The 7th head pries lived about 600 years ago, his grave stone says.
There have been calamities due to flooding and other problems, but in the Meiji period the temple revived. The temple was then called
高野山九十九森寺

But in the Showa period, it became its name we know it today.

Since 1952, the temple is also called 西の高野山 弘法寺
the "Koya San in the West of Tsugaru".

This is taken from the legend that Kobo Daishi on his pilgrimage in Shikoku once could not find a lodging for the night and had to rest below a bridge.
To our day the Henro pilgrims do not use their walking stick and carry it carefully when passing a bridge, so as not to awaken the sleeping Kukai.
There is a special small hall for this statue in the compound.

The prayer here is
ゆきなやむ 浮世の人を 渡さずば

秋田県大館市上町６
6 Uwamachi, Ōdate-shi, Akita

Located in the Odate Plain of Akita.
The temple was supported by the Satake 佐竹 regents of Odate castle.
The Sakate samurai were called 小場 Koba before they changed their name around 1386.
The lord at that time, 小場大炊助義躬, had this one temple build outside the castle compound for the villagers to pray.

The main statue is Yakushi Nyorai, 薬師如来, Buddha of Healing and Medicine.
Other statues are
十二支守護佛 12 protector deities, Dainichi 大日 and Amida Nyorai 阿彌陀如来, 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O, the Bosatsu Kannon 観音, Kokuzo 虚空蔵, Monju 文殊, Fugen and 普賢 and Seishi 勢至菩薩. Most of them have their own halls now.
The statues are said to have been carved by the villagers themselves.

- quote
Ōdate (大館市 Ōdate-shi) is a city in Akita
Ōdate is located in the mountains of northern Akita Prefecture, with the Ou Mountains on the east and Aomori Prefecture to the north. The city is a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides. Part of the city is within the borders of the Towada-Hachimantai National Park.
Much of the city area is covered in forest. Due to its inland location, the city is noted for its heavy snowfall in winter.
- - - History
The area of present-day Ōdate was part of ancient Dewa Province, although it remained outside of the control of the Yamato court until well into the Heian period.
During the Edo period, the area came under the control of the Satake clan, who ruled the northern third of the province from Kubota Domain, and who maintained a secondary fortification at Ōdate Castle.
The castle was destroyed during the Boshin War. After the start of the Meiji period, the area became part of Kitaakita District, Akita Prefecture in 1878. During the Meiji period, the discovery of "black ore" (sphalerite and galena - a mixture of zinc, lead, gold, silver, and other precious metals), led to the development of numerous mines in the area, including the Hanaoka mine; however, the deposits were depleted by the mid-Showa period.
On June 20, 2005, the towns of Hinai and Tashiro (both from Kitaakita District) were merged into Ōdate, increasing its population (as of 2011) to 77,703 and the area of the city to 913.70 km2 (352.78 sq mi).
