Ninotaki Temple is yet another of the temples on the Sasaguri Pilgrimage that has a waterfall for ascetic training and numerous Fudo Myoo statues.
Ninotakiji is a Koyasan Shingon temple.
The honzon, like its counterpart of the original Shikoku Pilgrimage temple 14, is Maitreya, the Future Buddha.
Sometimes known as Miroku in Japan, he is sometimes said to be a Buddha, sometimes a Bodhisattva.
It is a fairly large temple complex by the standards of most of those on the Sasaguri Pilgrimage.
The main hall was built in 1998.
It is unusual in being built completely out of Teak brought from Myanmar.
Other halls within the grounds are a Daishi Hall, a Kannon Hall, a Jiko Hall, a Benten Hall, and Inari Shrine, and a Sorei Hall.
The Jiko Hall enshrines Jiko, the nun who founded the temple.
However, for me, the most interesting was the multiple Fudo's around the two waterfalls...
