Mount Miyukijisan 御幸寺山 - 118 m high




Someone walked on the mountain road on the 6th day of the 5th lunar month during the rice-planting season at 12 in the night, when suddenly he felt a strange something, a black something with a white something waving like hair on its top. He could not figure out what it was, but developed a high fever that lasted for seven days.
A wise old man told him that this was the onryoo 怨霊 vengeful spirit of a young man from a rich family, who had once made the Tengu very angry. The Tengu had thrown him high in the sky to fall to his death. This was his vengeful spirit.

-

inuboo no rei 犬坊の霊 the spirit of Inu-Bo
The Lord of 御幸寺山城 Miyukiji castle went to war riding his horse. He fell into a valley and died. Other versions say he died during the war.
His spirit appeared riding a horse, cursing anyone who happened to see him.
If anyone sees this apparition, he will fall ill.
To appease his soul, 大脇清太夫 sat on a horse and ordered the soul of Inu-Bo to leave. They saw a white piece of paper fly away and landing on the top of 石手寺山 Mount Ishitejiyama.
Since then the apparition did not show up any more.

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.


. Hoshina Masayuki 保科正之 .
June 17, 1611 – February 4, 1673
... the founder of what became the Matsudaira house of Aizu. He was an important figure in the politics and philosophy of the early Tokugawa shogunate.

Arranged in the order of the sanmitsu　三密 "three secrets"
of the Shingon sect.
The Three Mysteries :
symbolic activities of Body, Speech, and Mind

The symbolic activities of Body, Speech, and Mind (the Three Mysteries or Three Secrets) are present everywhere in the universe. Natural phenomena such as mountains and oceans and even humans express the truth described in the sutras. The universe itself embodies and can not be seperated from the teachings. In his work, "Attaining Buddhahood in This Body," Kobo Daishi said,

Form mudras with your hands,
recite mantras with your mouths,
and dwell in meditation with your minds.

These secrets allow you to experience the Buddha nature that exists within yourself and also of the larger Universe.

道中守り不動 - Dochu Mamori Fudo to protect on the road

The main temple is located on the border to Fukuoka
福岡県前原市雷山626 626 Raizan, Itoshima, Fukuoka

- quote -
a Shingon temple in Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Its honorary sangō prefix is Sennyo-ji Daihiō-in (千如寺大悲王院).
It is also referred to as Raizan Kannon (雷山観音).

According to legend, Sennyo-ji was founded in the Nara period by 清賀上人 Seiga, a priest who came from India.

Due to its position in the north overlooking the Sea of Genkai, it has been expected from the shogunate as a prayer temple of the foremost line against the Mongol invasions of Japan during the Kamakura period. In its heyday has been said to be lined up to 300 priest living quarters around the temple. Sennyo-ji is a general term of this temple, and it is also referred to as the priest's lodge that was located next to the middle sanctuary, the present day site of Ikazuchi-jinja. The wooden Avalokiteśvara statue is the subject of mountainous faith that has been enshrined in the main hall.
Afterwards the priest living quarters were ruined during the long war between Muromachi and Sengoku periods, there only remains the priest's lodge. In 1573, however, the main hall was founded by Kuroda Tsugutaka (1703–1775), the 6th feudal lord of Kuroda clan. Big maple trees, which has been designated as a natural monument of Fukuoka prefecture, has been said to be planted by him.

Mount Rai has two sanctuaries, one at the middle of the mountain and one at its peak. The middle sanctuary was founded in honor of Emperor Suinin whom he is conventionally considered to have reigned from 29 BC to AD 70. Both sanctuaries have been governed by the temple until the Edo period. However, the priest's lodge in the middle sanctuary was abolished by the separation of Shinto from Buddhism, introduced after the Meiji Restoration. Cultural properties, such as Buddha statues including the main Buddha and the ancient documents, were moved to the main hall.

The temple is also known for being a great place for cherry blossom viewing in the spring, and many people visit in the autumn to see the fall foliage.

Priest Seiga brought brought seeds from camellia (tsubaki　椿) and made oil from them for the first time.
Mount Aburayama 油山 (597 m)　in Fukuoka is named in memory of this event.

Takkoku no Iwaya Bishamondo 達谷窟毘沙門堂

岩手県西磐井郡平泉町平泉字北沢１６
Kitazawa-16 Hiraizumi, Nishiiwai District

The main statues are Bishamonten 毘沙門天 and Fudo Myo-O.

Founded by priest Enchin 円珍 in 807 in order to promote the development of the Northern Provinces in Tohoku. In 801 the government sent Sakanoue Tamuramaro to subdue chief 悪路王 Akuro-O. The deity Bishamonten was placed in the temple to show their thanks for the victory.
The buildings burned down various times but have always been re-built. The last re-built was in 1961.
Now people come here to pray for peace.
Some sources quote Jigaku Daishi for carving the statue of Bishamonten.

The main temple is in a cave (iwaya) but has a large compound in the mountains, the building is almost like the temple Kurama 鞍馬寺 in Kyoto, and housed 108 statues of Bishamonten in the Bishamonten Hall 毘沙門堂. Now 33 are still there and shown every 33 years.


- Chant of the temple
大慈心　姫待滝の不動尊　
もるるかたなき　ちかいぞうれし


- quote
--- Himemachi-Fudo-do
(Waiting-for-ladies Fudo Hall)
, Takkoku-Seiko-ji Temple. It suggests a dubious legend disrespecting "Akuro-o,"  the legendary lord of the Emishi people.

According to the legend, "Akuro-o" (悪路王) and his followers often kidnapped high-born maidens from Kyoto, confined them in "Kagohime" (籠姫; lit. Maidens' Cage) upstream and enjoyed cherry-blossom-viewing with them in "Sakurano" (桜野; lit. Cherry Field) repeatedly.
They called a waterfall nearby "Himemachi-no-Taki" (姫待ちの滝; lit. "Fall of Waylaying Escaping Maidens"). They also called the stone near the cave "Katsura-Ishi " (鬘石; lit. [Maidens'] Wig Stone) because they cut the maiden's beautiful black hair as a warning to other kidnapped maidens.

Probably the Japanese people in later generations blindly wanted to believe Tamuramaro Sakanoue as a most respectable hero and Akuro-o ("Aterui" or "Acro-o") who fought with Sakanoue as an evil figure.

Kenji Miyazawa wrote a poem about "Acro-o" taking hint from this legend, titled "Haratai Kenbai Ren" (原体剣舞連; lit. "A Verse for Haratai [Village] Sword Dance," dated August 31, 1922) in Spring and Ashura.
