Kento Three Great Acalas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kanto Three Great Acalas (関東三大不動 [ja]) is a collective term, recorded in the Japanese history, for the three temples that are dedicated to the Acala ("Unmovable Wisdom King") in Kantō region governed by shōgun.

Narita-san Shinsho-ji Temple (成田山新勝寺) and Takahatafudotake Kongo Temple (高幡山金剛寺) had long been considered as two of the three Acala temples down the ages; however, there have been several versions of what the third temple is. [1]
