This hidden grotto is dedicated to Fudo Myo-o, the wrathful manifestation of Vairocana, the Cosmic Buddha. Fudo Myo-o is strongly associated with waterfalls and ascetic practices that practitioners undertake standing under the force of waterfalls.

Photography Tips

The grotto is surrounded by exquisitely beautiful Japanese maple and bamboo forests that are in full colour in early December.
