Nofukuji Temple is a temple established in 805, affiliated with the Tendai sect of Buddhism. In 1891, a great image of Buddha was established through the contribution of a wealthy merchant, Nanjyo Sobei

The first great image of Buddha was dismantled for scrapmetal during World War 2, and the present great image was rebuilt in 1991. The weight of the great image is about 60 tons, and the height is about 11 meters (18 meters from the pedestal).

The temple deifies Bishamonten/Vaisravana. Bishamonten is a guardian god called Goho zenjin/Dharmapala, who protect Buddhism from evils. I got go-shuin (red seal) in this temple.
