概要
Hansōbō earned his nickname as 'rice monk' after saving a shipwrecked Zen monk (son of Emperor Daigo II) from Ming China in the 14th century and serving as his varlet, carrying his food.
The shrine's 12 crow tengu statues guard against fire because Hansōbō's original statue miraculously survived a major fire at Hōkō-ji Temple, giving him the power to protect Kenchō-ji from flames.
Though technically a Buddhist temple, Hansōbō is called a shrine because it functions as a 'half-monk' place of local divine protection, blending Shinto elements like torii gates with Buddhist tradition.
Founded in 1890 after a local monk dreamed of Hansōbō appearing as a long-nosed monkey god, the shrine requires climbing 250 steps, with an additional 180 steep steps leading to an even higher viewpoint.
