- quote
イボ取り不動尊 Ibotori Fudo
temple Yoomeiji 永明寺 Yomei-Ji
1167 Harada, Fuji shi, Harada. Shizuoka 富士市原田

There are a lot of waterfalls in the mountains of this area.

Legend knows this:
Once upon a time, there lived a young girl near the waterfall. She had warts all over the body. She had already seen many doctors and tried all kinds of medicine, but nothing would help.
One day she talked to the priest at temple Yomei-Ji. He told her:
"Please try to pray to the Fudo in the pond of our temple!"



So for 21 days (three times seven - 三掛ける七) she came every day barefeet and prayed to Fudo.
On day 21 her prayers were all done and in the morning she had a dream of Fudo, who told her:
"Today, throw some water of the pond on your body!"
So when she woke up, she hurried to the temple and scooped a lot of water on her body.
And what do you say ! all the warts disappeared suring this washing. Now she was a beautiful girl as ever there was one.

Since then people called the statue "Fudo who takes away warts" and prayed here.
