Nikko · Kanman-ga-fuchi Jizo Statues and Ravine
日光市, Tochigi
Savor the moss-covered Jizo statues and ravine beauty at Kanman-ga-fuchi, a hidden gem of Nikko
Kanman-ga-fuchi, tucked away a short distance from Nikko Tosho-gu, is a mystical spot where some 70 Jizo statues line the Oya River gorge. The moss-covered stone Buddhas are known as 'Bakejizo' (spirit Jizo), with a legend that their numbers change with each count. Standing amid the clear waters and dappled sunlight of the ravine, these statues exude a serene beauty that stands in striking contrast to the grandeur of Tosho-gu. Perfect for those seeking to experience the quieter side of Nikko, away from the crowds.
