Fukagawa Fudōdō

深川不動堂

Monzen-nakacho, Tokyo · 東京

A temple whose modern hall is wrapped in Sanskrit characters, and whose goma fire ritual is performed several times a day with taiko drums.

Why it’s worth it

The goma is loud, close and genuinely startling — nothing like a quiet shrine visit. Check the board inside for the next start time and simply sit down.
