Every year, this temple hosts one of the three most unusual festivals in Japan, that of the naked man: hadaka matsuri ! Nearly 9,000 men, dressed in a simple traditional loincloth(fundoshi) in the manner of sumotoris, try to recover sacred lucky sticks(shingi). This festival is held on the third Saturday of February. The temple was founded between 770 and 780, but was largely destroyed by a fire in 1229. Some remarkable buildings remain today.
