Fukusenji Temple 13 Iwami Kannon Pilgrimage

 

Fukusenji is a small, rural temple in Arifuku, a mountain village in Shimane.

It is a Rinzai sect temple, and the honzon is a Kannon. Otheer than that I can find no information.

There is documentation on the temple dating to 1580, but it is not clear to me if that is when it was established.

This was the end of the 7th day of my walk along the pilgrimage, and from here I took a bus home and restarted from here at a later date as the next section heads down the mountains to the southwest.

The previous post in this series on my walk along the Iwami Kannon Pilgrimage was on the walk to here from down near my home.
