Plan Description
Praying with a wish through the ritual of Goma (fire ritual) at the temple

The temple, known as Ganjōjuji, was established by the Bodhisattva Jinmon in the final years of the Yōrō period. Revered locally as "Akamatsu no Myōken-sama," it holds Goma ceremonies every month. Participants write their names, furigana, and wishes on Goma sticks before proceeding to the Goma hall. In this small-scale Goma hall, you can witness the majestic Goma rituals up close.
