Shugendo mountain asceticism spread all over the Aizu region when Enichi Temple was founded, and members of the Otomo family were its teachers. There was repeated rise and fall of Daiji Shugen. Therefore, Bandai asceticism was also referred to as Otomo Shugen.
The “New Edition of Aizu Topography” says that teachers from Mt. Bandai, Mt. Umaya, Mt. Azuma and other areas worked together with Inawashiro Jojuin.
Ryuhoji was brought from Kyushu Hikoyama’s Nakatsu County in Eisho 18 (1521), carried on the tradition of the Hikoyama school of thought, and took the honorific temple name “Bandaisan Fudoin Ryuhoji”. During the Hoei era (1704-1710), Daiji asceticism was the most influential in Inawashiro area, and Otomo Shugen became subordinate to Inawashiro Jojuin.
Later, ascetic monk Otomo switched from the Hikoyama school and moved to Kyoto Shogoin changing the name from “Fudoin” to “Ryuhoin”, “Bandaisan Ryuhoin”.
The Ryuhoji of today was called Shugen Fudoson 180 years ago. It has a gambrel beamed roof, transverse girders about six meters long, with hip and gable bargeboards, and is an oratory for Bandaisan Shugen.
