- Chant of the temple
みかえりて つみとがはらう 威音王
佐波路にたかき みすくい


- quote
後深草天皇正嘉元年の鎌倉大地震につづき、正元年中の全国の飢餓は、この佐波路の領民も、その外でなく多くの村民は瀕死の状況にありました。
亮海上人は釈迦牟尼世尊の霊告をうけ、亀山天皇文応元年（1260年）この地に草庵を結び、ひたすら本尊に村民の救済加護を祈願した処、たちまちに飢餓、病魔等を退散させることができたことから、長安寺のなさけ釈迦の名も今に口伝されています。
この亮海上人草庵建立の文応元年（1260年）を開山の年とし、爾来760年有余風雪に耐え、地域の心の依所として今日に輝かしい法燈をつたえています。

Founded most probably by 最澄伝教大師 Saicho Dengyo Daishi when he traveled in the area.
Saicho carved the statue of Fudo Myo-O and built the hall to shelter it. Then he held a ritual to purify the statue and took one of his ritual tools, the dokko 独鈷 thunderbolt, and threw it outside at the rock, where the waterfall started to flow. Saicho said:
「滝に沐浴すれば総じて苦悩を洗い、
去りて秘境の極に至ることこの清泉に勝るものなし」
The present-day hall was built in 1802.

Many pilgrims came to the waterfall to pray for healing from diseases of the brain.

The large temple bell at Ankokuji Fudoin Temple in Hiroshima City is said to have been brought from Korea
by 安国寺恵瓊 Ankokuji Ekei, who was a daimyo and priest serving for Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Mori Motonari during the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1598).
It is an excellent artistic work of the early Goryeo dynasty (918-1932). The bell is 1.6 m tall and 65 cm in diameter. Beautiful arabesque designs are cast on relief on the upper and lower parts and four heavenly maidens are on the main body. The sitting image of Bosatsu is also carved in relief on the hitting mark (tsukiza), on which the name "Soshin Bosatsu" is inscribed. The bell was designated as a national Important Cultural Property in 1899.

Hakoshima yuusui 箱島湧水 Hakoshima springs


source : water-pub.env.go.jp/water-pub/mizu-site...

- quote
Clear water counted as one of Japan's 100 Fine Water gushes out at the base of a 500-year-old huge cedar tree in the precinct of Hakoshima Fudoson Temple in Hakoshima, Higashi-Agatsuma-cho, Agatsuma-gun, Gunma Prefecture.
It springs out 30,000 tons of water per day.
The water is supposed to be the sub-soil water of Lake Haruna.
Legend has it
that the wife of a Warring States period warrior of the Kibe clan was pursued by the enemy and finally threw herself into Lake Haruna. Knowing this tragedy, her son Priest Enko of the nearby temple sent her memorial tablet to the bottom of the lake to appease her soul. The tablet, however, floated out of water in the springs later. This memorial tablet is placed in the temple hall even today.
The spring water
pours into the Narusawa River, which supplies water for agriculture, trout aquaculture and the prefecture's Inland Water Fisheries Experiment Station as well as the drinking water to the local village. This clear water is so cold that your hand will become numb.
