Futago-ji Temple

The Central temple of Rokugo-Manzan in Kunisaki peninsula. The temple was established

in 718 by Ninmon and located close to the peak of Mount Futago. Futagoji’s grounds cover

a wide area on the forested slopes of the mountain, with stone and gravel paths and stairs

connecting several halls housing various deities.

A pair of stone Nio Guardians stand at the start of the traditional temple approach below the

parking lot, from where a ten minute ascent up a flight of steps takes you to the main temple buildings.

Among them are the Gomado Hall which is dedicated to Fudomyo, a protector of Buddhism, and the

Okunoin.
