Fukagawa Fudodo is a Tokyo branch of Naritasan Shinshoji Temple in Narita of Chiba Prefecture. It’s known locally as “Fukagawa’s Fudo-sama.”
Every day at 9:00am, 11:00am, 1:00pm, 3:00pm, and 5:00pm the temple holds goma fire rituals, in which wooden sticks are burnt alongside the beating of taiko drums, and visitors can participate and join in prayer for free. The main temple building contains around 10,000 small crystal figures of Fudomyo.
Guests can also experience meditation through methods like shakyo and ajikan.

The architecture is really unique, and the taiko drums and fire ritual make for a special prayer experience.
There's also a shopping street in front of the temple where you can shop, eat, and take photos.
It's a really different kind of area.
