🔥 Morning FIRE RITUAL In Ekoin Temple | Koyasan (高野山), Wakayama Prefecture 🇯🇵

We visit today a beautiful sacred place in Japan: Koyasan.
This area is located in Wakayama prefecture and it's the center of Shingon Buddhism.
In Koyasan, you can experience a stay in a temple (Shukubo) and one of the best to do so is Ekoin temple. In the morning, you will be able to participate to the fire ritual that you can see in this video.

Thank you for your videos! I’ve been looking for a channel that gives the Japanese Experience without commentary. It makes me feel like I’m actually there.

I took part im the morning ritual too in Koyasan when traveling there in 2017.
It explained how in almost every temple it says "burned down in xxxx and was rebuild" 😝
Edit: stayed in Kumagaiji ryokan

Hahaha I know! I had the same comment cause indeed, a lot of temples were destroyed by fire. lol But I think they do it in a safer way now. :)

護摩祈祷ですね。父の実家は神道です。父の実家は神道ですが神職による慰霊祭はありません。父方の先祖御霊、８８歳で亡くなった亡き祖父が護摩祈祷により浄化されますようにお祈り申し上げますです

guess what...where did this ritual come from to japan....INDIA

[@Shutendoji]

It's an incredibly ancient practice from the Rig-Veda, much older than Buddhism itself. Pretty fascinating that it has been transferred so far from India.
