Goma(holy fire) is the most mysterious prayer of Mikkyo(esoteric Buddhism).
An ascetic (monk) burns a worldly passions out in front of the fire with deep meditation, and prays for living thing's happiness and peace.
After Kobo-Daishi(Kukai) handed Goma down to Japan, it has been introduced from a teacher to a pupil for 1200 years.
We have Goma prayer in Nomiyama-Kannonji
every day.
From monday to Saturday --- early morning
Sunday and holiday ---

You can apply for Goma prayer at a reception desk in a main hall.
Chief priest of Nomiyama-Kannonji burns and prayes this by holy Goma in the next morning.
