Fudarakusanji Temple located near Nachi Beach in Wakayama Pref. is known for Fudaraku Tokai, a trip to Kannon Jodo, which was imagined to be in the southern ocean. In Fudaraku Tokai, the chief monks called “Tokai Shonin” would set out to sea alone from Nachi beach on a small boat with only a little food. This practice was performed from the Heian period (794-1192) to the middle of Edo period (1603-1867). Those monks are worshipped at this temple. This temple was founded by Ragyo Shonin (literally meaning the Naked Saint), who came from India during the reign of Emperor Nintoku around 1700 years ago. The temple had once so flourished that there were so many temple buildings until the Edo period. In 1808, all the buildings were destroyed by a natural disaster. The present Main Hall was what was rebuilt in Muromachi Style in 1990. The principal image, Senju Kannon (Kannon with 1,000 arms) is designated as a National Important Cultural Property.
