Tanden-an Temple

This temple is said to have originated around 300 years ago, when Priest Zuio of Kyoto's Myoshinji Temple enshrined the Savior Kannon.

Commonly known as the "Graffiti Temple," it features a unique prayer spot where visitors can write their wishes directly on the white wall of the Daikokudo Hall on the temple grounds. This custom began around 60 years ago, when the head priest started it to express gratitude for support received during the rebuilding of the hall, and it has since become popular as a "graffiti prayer" in place of ema votive plaques. The Daikokuten enshrined in the Daikokudo Hall is called "Hashiri Daikoku" and is known for its lively pose, as if it might start running at any moment.

In addition to the Daikokudo Hall, the temple grounds also have a two-story main hall that enshrines a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha and a statue of Kannon Bosatsu. Visits are available on Saturdays, Sundays, and the first three days of the New Year from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, and require an admission fee of 100 yen and a graffiti prayer fee of 300 yen. On weekdays, group visits are available by phone reservation in advance. The wall, covered densely with written wishes, is repainted at the end of December every year, and in the New Year, visitors can write their wishes on a completely fresh wall.
