Ruins of the Former Sentoji Temple
An autumnal foliage spot steeped in the romance of ancient times
The former Sentoji Temple flourished in the heart of Mt. Fudo, located in Kunisaki City, Oita Prefecture.
At the site where the main hall once stood, you will be greeted by two imposing statues of guardian deities (Nio). There is also a legend that the site marks the place where a legendary monk (revered as both a deity and a Buddha, though their true identity remains unknown) passed away. The monk's grave and other remnants are preserved here.
Today, the entire mountain, including the old Sento-ji Temple ruins, has been developed into the "Rokugo Manzan Forest Park," which is especially popular in autumn as a renowned spot for viewing autumn leaves, attracting many visitors.
Take your time to enjoy a peaceful forest walk while reflecting on the historical remnants.
