Daichiin Temple Narita Fudoson Grand Festival

About this event

At Daichiin Temple, the Migawari Fudo of Naritasan Fudoson is enshrined, and the Narita Fudoson Grand Festival is held every year on September 28. Conducted at Daichiin in Chita City, this festival is positioned as a traditional late-September event. Kinshozan Daichiin, said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku, enshrines Shokanzeon Bosatsu as its principal image and Bato Kanzeon Bosatsu as the maedachi (standing front image), offering the charm of a historic temple enshrining Fudoson. The highlight of the festival is the prayer offering to Migawari Fudo, a spiritual branch of Naritasan Fudoson, where worshippers gather and solemn Buddhist memorial services are performed. Listed in the 2026 event guide of the Chita City Tourism Guide, it is an annual event that embodies the local community's religious devotion. The surrounding nature blends with the temple's solemnity, bringing peace of mind to visitors. With other annual events such as the Setsubun bean-scattering ceremony, the Bato Kannon Grand Festival, and the Megane Kobo Grand Festival, Daichiin is popular as a worship spot throughout the year. This grand festival particularly draws visitors seeking the divine protection of Fudoson and provides an opportunity to experience traditional Buddhist culture. [1][2][3]
