Kunisaki Peninsula Rokugo Manzan Circuit

Kunisaki Peninsula is a sacred place where the Shinto-Buddhist syncretism culture of 'Rokugo Manzan,' continuing since the Nara period, thrives. Old temples and stone cultural properties are scattered throughout the peninsula. There are abundant highlights including the Nio statues at Ryoji-ji Temple, the Amida Hall at Fuki-ji Temple (a National Treasure), and the steep stone steps of Kumano rock carvings. The trekking experience on the 'peak pilgrimage' route walked by ancient monks is also popular, allowing visitors to experience the atmosphere of mountain worship. The landscape of terraced rice fields, designated as a World Agricultural Heritage site, is equally beautiful, making this a hidden gem where you can encounter Japan's pristine original landscape.
