Junteido Temple Shrine in the Grounds of Dai Garan, Kongobu-ji Temple Complex, Koyasan, Japan.
The Cundi image enshrined here is said to have been created by Kobo Daishi himself upon his entering the priesthood. When the Garan was built, this Cundi image was installed in the eating quarters. In 973 with the creation of the Junteido, the image was moved. Although this building has burned down many times, the latest incarnation was rebuilt in 1883. Every year on July 1st, a special service revolving around the Cundi image is held here.
