Pay respects at Ryoshi Temple, the central temple of the Buddhist culture 'Roku-go Man-san' of the Kunisaki Peninsula

About this spot

An ancient temple located on the hillside of Ryoshi Mountain in the center of the Kunisaki Peninsula, known as the central temple of Roku-go Man-san, a unique Buddhist culture that bloomed on the peninsula. Within the grounds spreads a landscape that evokes a long history, with nio guardian statues and moss-covered stone steps, and the quietness enveloped in deep green is comforting. A fitting starting point for a history tour of the region, where you can touch upon the culture of syncretic Shinto-Buddhism unique to the Kunisaki Peninsula. Even in summer, the grounds are shaded by trees, offering a comfortable environment for worship.

The grounds have many stone steps and inclines, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. As the site is in the mountains, there may be many insects, so insect repellent is helpful.
