Mount Mitoku

Mount Mitoku rises to 900 meters within Daisen-Oki National Park, featuring steep cliffs and deep valleys with three waterfalls among primeval forests.

The mountain became a significant religious center in the late seventh century when mystic En no Gyoja established temples following Buddhist traditions.

The name contains three virtues of Buddhism - wisdom, renunciation, and judgment - reflecting its importance as a meditation and spiritual practice site.

Visitors reach the mountain by taking a 40-minute bus ride from Kurayoshi Station to Sanbutsu-ji Temple, followed by a 50-minute climb.

The granite mountain contains three inaccessible waterfalls named Fudō, Mahebi, and Ryūtokuin, hidden within its dense forest landscape.
