Takatsuka Atago Jizo-son Statue
A sacred power spot in Hita City that brings good fortune in answering prayers
Takatsuka Atago Jizo-son is a rare jizo statue in Japan where Shinto and Buddhist beliefs seamlessly merge. With a history spanning over 1,200 years, it attracts countless visitors seeking to have their wishes granted. The grounds feature over 2,000 Jizo statues that are quietly arranged, creating an awe-inspiring sight. Behind the main hall lies the Megumi no Tama (Blessing Ball), which is said to fulfill wishes when touched, and the nearby Okakae Jizo statue (Embracing Jizo statue) grants blessings when hugged and prayed to. The sacred 1,300-year-old ginkgo tree on the premises is also believed to bestow fertility blessings. The approach to the temple is lined with shops offering local specialties and souvenirs, allowing visitors to savor the flavors of the region while enjoying the spiritual and cultural experience.
