Founded in 815 by Kobo Daishi as a famous temple for warding off evil, this site draws large crowds every year. On January 20th (Wednesday) from 14:00, the Goma fire ritual begins, followed by the grand Goma ritual at midnight on January 21st (Thursday), continuing until 18:30. Stalls selling plants and food line the area, and the number of worshippers increases annually.
