About this Shrine

Sakurayama Fudōson Shrine is a Shinto shrine located in the mountains of Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. The shrine is dedicated to Fudo Myo, a Buddhist deity known as the 'Unmoving Buddha,' and is one of the most famous Shinto shrines in Japan. The shrine's name, Sakurayama, translates to 'Cherry Mountain,' reflecting its location amidst the beautiful cherry blossoms that bloom in the surrounding area. The shrine complex features traditional Japanese architecture, including a vermilion torii gate and a large temple hall dedicated to Fudo Myo.

Cultural Significance

Fudo Myo is often associated with protection from natural disasters and evil spirits. The shrine's torii gate is adorned with a unique 'mudrai' bell, which is rung at midnight on New Year's Eve to ward off evil spirits.
