One of the three major Fudo temples in Kanto, known as the head temple for traffic safety prayers, and the family Temple of Toshizo Hijikata of the Shinsengumi.
Along with Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, Takahata Fudoson is one of the three largest temples housing an immovable statue of the Wisdom King in the Kanto region. It is the special head temple of the Shingonshu sect, Chizan school of Buddhism.
Every year, about 300,000 visitors come for the first temple visit of the year. It's also crowded on the 28th of every month, when many visitors come for temple festivals, which are believed to bring them divine blessings.
Added to an area of approximately 13,240 square meters inside the temple grounds, the surrounding hilly woods makes it a vast site of about 99,300 sq. m. In addition to annual events such as a good-luck bean-throwing festival in February, visitors may also enjoy the nature of each season, with festivals celebrating hydrangea flowers in early summer or red maple leaves in autumn.
The temple houses approximately 20,000 precious cultural properties and treasures, including the giant statue "Joroku Fudo Sanson."

新選組土方歳三的菩提寺，初夏還有繡球花。
觀光客不多，可以安靜地在寺內散步。
這個神社好像對交通安全很靈驗。
還有參道上的商店街的糰子是必吃～🍡
我在參觀時最為感動的是，無論是僧侶還是參拜者，大家都顯得非常虔誠和尊重。寺廟的建築和庭院也讓人印象深刻。
本想去看繡球花但今年開太早沒趕上...
不過有求到交通御守也還算OK！
人不多環境好大力推喔～
紀念土方歲三的寺廟，六月份的繡球花很值得來看。
五重塔很壯觀，是個很棒的能量景點！
