==History== The Kunisaki Peninsula, where Fuki-ji is located, is a land closely related to Usa Jingū, which was an early center for Shinbutsu-shūgō a syncretistic belief system of Shinto and Japanese Buddhism, from the early Nara period. Fuki-ji, like many other temples on the Kunisaki Peninsula, claims to have been founded in 718 by a monk named Ninmon (仁聞). Ninmon, a mostly a legendary figure, is said to have been associated with the six townships on the Kunisaki Peninsula (Musashi, Kunawa, Kunisaki, Tashibu, Aki), where he founded 28 temples and constructed 69,000 Buddha statues. Due to a lack of historical records from the time, the exact origins of these temples remain mostly unknown.
