The Daihondo, Great Main Hall, of Shinshoji Temple was built in 1968 and houses a statue of Fudo Myoo, one of the guardian king deities of Buddhism, which the temple was founded to house over 1,000 years ago. Shinshoji’s famous Goma fire ritual, in which wooden Goma sticks are burned in prayer, is performed here daily before the Fudo Myoo altar.
