Kanagawa Pref. Iseharashi Oyama 724

"This temple is located in Oyama, Isehara City. Founded in the year 755 by the Buddhist monk Roben, founder of Todaiji Temple in Nara Prefecture. Its primary object of worship is the Oyamafudozo statue cast by the Buddhiest priest Gangyo Shonin in 1264. A number of sacred places were established around the temple when the Buddhiest monk Kukai served as its chief priest. These sacred grounds are worshiped even today as part of a creed known as Oyama Nanafushigi (the Seven Wonders of Oyama). Visitors to the temple can perform a ritual called ""kawara nage"" in which sundried earthenware are thrown off a cliff to ward off evil and misfortune."

Amazing red leaves around Oyama temple. Luckily I could see Kokuhou (national treasure) which was limited time available to visitors! Fudomyouou statue was great!

大変歴史のある神社で、天平の時代から子宝、安産に霊験ありとされたそうです。拝殿の前に立つ左右の柱の、人の胸当たりの高さ部分が削られて細くなっていますが、昔、参拝者が安産のお守りとして削って持ち帰ったためだそうです。かなり細くなっているので危険なのでしょう、今、柱の四隅は鉄のアングルで補強されています。比比多神社には、歌川国経作の花魁を描いた絵馬が飾られています。神社に花魁、珍しいですね。
