Mama Kannon Temple, or Mama Chichi Kannon,
is known as the "Breast Temple" and one of the 33 Kannon Shrines of Owari, being built in 1492 with the formal name of Ryuon-Ji. Legend says it was a regular shrine until 1665, when a woman who was unable to breast feed brought her baby and prayed at the temple, miraculously starting to lactate.

Neighbors of the woman appearing in the legend were concerned that the milk she produced lacked in nutrients for her child, given that she was poor and malnourished. They gave her rice in order to help, but as she was a devout person, she offered the rice to the deity at the temple instead of consuming herself. It was then that she started to lactate plenty and richly. From that moment on, rumors spread and women from all places started to come and pray for safe birth giving, abundant lactation, healthy babies, and etc. Of course, some of the ladies would also pray for matters unrelated to maternity, like asking for changing the physical appearance of their bosoms.

On a less amusing note, the temple is the 24th Peregrination Temple (Fudasho) among the Kannon Temples of Owari and was originally built at the Mt. Komaki, allegedly being moved to its current location by orders of Oda Nobunaga. The deity of the temple is Senju Kannon Bosatsu, also known as the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, often depicted in statues with tens of arms to symbolize the infinite hands, and/or multiple faces meaning the eleven faces, both gifts from Amithaba.

The Sanmon gate at Mama Kannon
is said to be a structure entirely moved from Kenchuji Temple, the famous Memorial Temple of the Owari Tokugawa Clan, located in the Higashi-Ward of Nagoya-City.

Katate Kannon 片手観音 Kannon with One Arm

福井県三方上中郡若狭町三方1-1 / 1-1 Mikata, Wakasa-cho, Mikatakaminaka-gun, Fukui

- quote
One night sometime in the Enryaku Period (about 1,200 years ago) the priest Kobo Daishi had secluded himself in this mountain area and was carving a stone (ishi) statue of the Kannon (Goddess of Mercy).
However he was forced to abandon his effort upon hearing a rooster crow to announce the daybreak. He left the mountain and the statue's right hand remained unfinished. This site is now designated as a special holy site along the Hokuriku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and, on account of the statue's missing limb, is said to have healing powers for limb disabilities.
The path to the mountainside away from the Main Hall leads to a spring called'Kannon Reisui'and, in March 2006, the spring's water 'Fukui no Oishii Mizu' (Fukui's Delicious Water) was recognised as among the very best from Fukui.

Muro Fudo 茂呂不動
石岡山-Ishiokayama 不動院 Fudo-In 退魔寺 Taima-Ji

群馬県伊勢崎市美茂呂町 / 3612 Mimorocho, Isesaki, Gunma

In the year 1371, the lord of the castle 茂呂勘解由左衛門尉 Muro Kankaiyoshi Saemonnojo hat the temple 香華院 Kogei-In erected in the castle compound.
A statue of Fudo Myo-O carved by Kobo Daishi was enshrined.
From the temple 鶏足寺 Keisoku-Ji the Zen priest 道照禅師 Dosho Zenji was called to lead the rituals.
Later the temple was named Taima-Ji.

When 石田三成 Ishida Mitsunari passed 伊勢崎 Isesaki, there was a bridge (now 光円橋 Koenbashi), where a monster passed by every night and shocked the villagers. Mitsunari drove the monster away and the name of the temple was changed.
The crest of the temple is the same as that of Mitsunari.

In the year 1663, many buildings were lost during a fire, but reconstructed in 1670.
The large Fudo Hall was build in 1677.
The main statue is 大日如来 Dainichi Nyorai.
子安観音 Koyasu Kannon is also venerated.

The roof of the Fudo Hall was repaired in 1988.

The main gate of the temple has 扁額 a framed inscription, 「不動院」 Fudo-In.

- 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。

Umezawa Fudo 梅沢不動
梅沢山 Umezawazan 金蔵院 Kinzo-In 華蔵寺 Kezo-Ji
umezawa - lit. swamp of plum trees

栃木県栃木市梅沢町801 / Tochigi city, Umezawa town 801

The temple is surrounded by plum trees.

It was founded in 1202 by 佐野安房守実綱 Sano Sanetsuna, Lord of 唐沢城主 Karasawa castle.
Sanetsuna was a retainer of 源頼朝 Minamoto no Yoritomo. He built this temple in honor of Yoritomo.

- quote
... ある日、実綱は唐沢山城から小曽戸板を通り不摩城へ向う途中、寺尾郷が一望できる頂で馬をとめ眼下を眺めていた。その時実綱は、過ぎし日鎌倉八幡宮で行われた流鏑馬（やぶさめ）に参加しその技量を讃えられ、政子夫人より紅梅一枝をおくられたことを思いおこし、「先の将軍の冥福を祈るための寺は、この山に建てよう」と決意。
その夜、不摩城に入った実綱は、城主木村氏に梅沢の地に寺を建立するよう命令。
木村氏は、梅沢村三竹に宗綱の名で寺を建立し、梅南に隣接している地なので紅白の梅を境内に植えた。
その後三百年を経て、
一時廃塔されたが、大永三年（1523）に郷内戸矢子の不摩城主木村伊豆守により塔頭が再建された。
天正年間には、法印周応和上が醍醐より法流を相承して中興第一世となる。この時、門末十ヶ寺の中本寺となった。
第二世弘典法師は、
日光大沢で徳川二代将軍秀忠の帰依（きえ）を得て、石高十石の朱印地をもらい受けた。この時の書状箱は、華蔵寺に現存している。
しかし文政十一年（1828）、山火事により廃虚と化す。幾度かの復興を試みたが成功せず、明治維新を迎えた頃、遂に末寺常徳、持宝の二ヶ寺を残して末門はことごとく廃寺となった。
明治37年、
金剛照浄和上が第三十五世となり、常徳、持宝の二ヶ寺を合併し興隆を画す。昭和9年には、本堂と庫裏を再建した。まさに華蔵寺の歴史は波乱に満ちている。
そうした時の流れを大らかなこころで包んだかのような、ここ華蔵寺の境内は静寂のみが音を立てる。
現実を離れ、遠い昔に旅をしている気分さえ味わえる、風格のある寺だ。

Karasawa Castle (唐沢城, Karasawa-jō) or
Karasawayama Castle (唐沢山城, Karasawayama-jō)
was originally built in 927 by Fujiwara no Hidesato, and Renovated in 1491 by Sano Moritsuna, of the Sano clan. It was a mountain-top castle, and one of the main castles of the Kanto area, Honshu, Japan. It is sited on the border of Kanto plain and northern mountain areas. and sat next to Sano, the corresponding castle town during the Edo period.
Over a period of time,
the Sano clan expanded their control over the area, and gradually built up the castle. At its peak, it was a substantial castle, commanding a mountaintop position. During the 16th century, the powerful Warlord, Kenshin Uesugi (1530–1578), lord of Kasugayama Castle moved into the area, and took over landholdings of some of the smaller clans. However, in so doing, he had to travel quite far, and was also being attacked by the Hojo clan. The castle saw most conflict in this period. Under the leadership of Sano Masatsuna (1529–1574), the castle withstood attacks by Kenshin Uesugi. At one point, Masatsuna allied with Kenshin, but eventually he broke free, regaining independence for the castle and for the Sano clan. The Uesugi clan attacked the castle 10 times during the Sengoku Period - a large amount of castle attacks, in a short time period.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi
conducted a campaign against the Hojo clan, and the Sano supported Hideyoshi. At the time, the Sano were on good terms with the Hojo, but Hideyoshi removed them from the castle. At the battle of Sekigahara the Sano clan sided with Tokugawa.
The story goes
that after one of the early Fires in Edo, the Sano clan could see the fire down in the city from their mountaintop. The clan sent their condolences to Edo for the unfortunate event. Allegedly, the Emperor was unimpressed that the Sano clan castle look down on Edo, and told them they would have to remove it. Whatever the reason, the clan rebuilt their castle lower down the hill, in a nearby but different position,
and this new castle was named Sano Castle.

Kongo Fudo 金剛不動尊
古峯ヶ原 Furuminegahara 金剛山 Kongozan 瑞峯寺 Zuiho-Ji

栃木県鹿沼市草久2239 / Tochigi, Kanuma city, Kusagyu

The temple was founded in 757 by 勝道上人 Saint Shodo Shonin.
勝道上人 Priest Saint Shodo Shonin (735 - 817) practised Shugendo rituals in Nikko and helped deepen the belief in the Tengu, who would protect people from misfortune and extinguish fires in the region.
. 勝道上人 Saint Shodo Shonin .

今から凡そ1250年前、聖武天皇の御代、天平宝字元年（757年）に、日光山を開いた勝道上人（しょうどうしょうにん）によって当山奥之院三昧石（三枚石）が開創されました。御年二十三歳の時であります。下野の名刹出流山（いずるさん）より奥之院にきた時に、峯に古色蒼然とした広大な原野があるので、古峯原（こぶがはら）と名づけられました。一説には華供（はなく）の峯が供峯（くぶ）になり古峯（こぶ）になったともいわれています。金剛山という名称は、弘法大師が上人の遺弟道珍法師に金剛界の大法を授けた説と、建武年間（1234―1235）に後醍醐天皇の勅願によって大和の国（奈良県）葛城別当賢道（けんどう）僧正によって、葛城金剛山の分霊を奉じて本尊金剛童子を祭った説があります。中古以来日光山発展と共に古峯原も峯修行に多くの修行者来山し、興隆してまいりましたが、明治初年の神仏分離令による政体の変更、大正8年の大洪水による本堂並びに庫裡、客殿の流出等、諸般の事情により、当山も一時哀徴の一途をたどりましたが、先師の努力により、霊域も回復、有縁の浄地を現在地に求めて、堂宇を建立、法燈を護持して今日に至っております。

Tage Fudo 多気不動尊
多気山 / たげ山 Tagesan 持宝院 Jiho-In 不動寺 Fudo-Ji

栃木県宇都宮市田下町563 / Tochigi, Utsunomiya city, Tage town

- quote
The 18th of the 36 Fudo temples in Kita-Kanto, this temple served as the favored place of worship of the Utsunomiya clan for generations.
It is known as a place where worshippers can pray to Fudo for safety from fire and success in business.
The rich nature of the mountains remains unspoiled, and in early summer, the path leading through the mountains up to Tagesan Fudoson is flanked by blooming hydrangeas.
Tagesan Fudoson's wooden statue of a seated Fudo was crafted using the technique of yosegi, a type of traditional Japanese marquetry, and is believed to date back to the late Heian Period (794-1185).
The taro skewers sold at the restaurants outside the temple gate are a local specialty.
