A small hillside temple (Fudō Myōō shrine) surrounded by cedars and mossy stone steps. Shoot vermilion gates, guardian statues, carved stone lanterns and textured woodwork; autumn leaves and morning mist add atmosphere. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-lighting; weekdays bring fewer visitors. Access via Hachioji by car or local bus; parking is limited and approach involves steep steps — wear good shoes. Respect worship rituals; no flash inside halls.
