A Magaibutsu of Fudomyooh carved in the rocks in the middle of the river flowing in front of the Tennenji Temple. It is said to be built around the Muromachi Period and was meant to tame the raging Nagaiwaya River. The face of Fudomyooh is also somewhat gentle, many people come here to worship. Actually, above the head of Fudomyooh, there is a hole that can fit a cylinder, and it can be known that there was a belief on the large rock here since several hundred years ago in the Heian Period when the Magaibutsu was created.
