Mount Rai, Mountain summit in Itoshima and Saga, Japan
Mount Rai rises 954.5 meters above sea level, forming a natural boundary between Fukuoka and Saga Prefectures in the Sefuri Mountain range.
The mountain underwent significant changes during the Meiji Restoration when numerous Buddhist temples were dismantled as Japan shifted toward Shintoism in the 19th century.
The Ikazuchi-jinja shrine at the summit connects to ancient worship practices and local beliefs about Raijin, the Japanese god of thunder and lightning.
Visitors can reach the summit through a hiking trail starting at Raizan Kannon-mae Bus Stop, with the ascent taking approximately one hour and forty minutes.
The Raizan Sennyoji Daihioin Temple houses 500 stone Buddha disciples and features a 16-foot wooden Avalokiteśvara bodhisattva statue from the pre-Meiji period.
