Catch the famous water at Enryu-ji Temple in Ono City, Fukui Prefecture, and feel refreshed! Experience misogi (purification of the skin) in the "temple of water coverings" to refresh your mind and body!
Video introduction to Enryuji Temple, a temple in Ono City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan, where visitors can experience water sports.
This video, titled "Enryuji - Ono, Fukui Prefecture" (Enryuji [圓立寺] 〜福井県大野市〜), was created by "The Asobigokoro."
The video introduces Enryuji Temple of Ono City in Fukui Prefecture.
Enryuji Temple was founded in 1556 under the Nichiren school of Buddhism.
The temple has a long history, and is the home of many precious items including a set of folding screens depicting the Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry.
In fact, the temple has been designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
Mountains surround the temple, creating a stunning landscape of natural beauty.
Here, you can find Oshozu, a spring ranked amongst Japan's top 100 water sources.
As the temple's nickname "temple of the flowing waters" suggests, you can experience a Misogi purification ritual at the temple.
Refresh your mind and body at Enryuji Temple
The Nichiren school has a spiritual training ritual known as "Hyaku Nichi Dai-Aragyo" (百日大荒行), or the "Hundred Days of Asceticism."
The current Osho priest, the 33rd Hikyu (日久), has completed this ritual five times.
He is now carrying out missionary activities using the temple as a space for prayer.
The Misogi ritual of Enryuji Temple involves immersing yourself in the waters while chanting sutras, as well as undergoing prayer and meditation, and copying sutras and sermons.
In addition, you can also receive qigong therapy to relieve physical and mental pain and improve your body’s natural healing capabilities.
After going through the Misogi ritual and qigong therapy, we daresay you'll feel like a completely refreshed version of yourself.
From 1:26 in the video, you can see the members of the general public participating in the ritual.
