Takahata-fudo Temple

Takahata-fudo is a Buddhist temple of Shingon sect, and is located in Hino city about 30 km west of Shinjuku.

Eleven-hundred years ago, in the early part of Japan’s Heian Period (794-1185), Jikaku Daishi Ennin, at the request of Emperor Seiwa, proclaimed this land a holy site, built Fudo-do Hall and dedicated it to the Buddhist deity called Fudo-myoo.

In addition to hosting seasonal events such as the Hydrangea Festival, Chrysanthemum Festival and Autumm Leaves Festival, the temple also attracts visitors year-round for being the site of Bodai-ji Temple, which is dedicated to Hijikata Toshizo and his deceased descendants. Hijikata was a military leader and famous samurai.
