高縄寺

Takanawa-ji Temple stands at 986 meters elevation on Mount Takanawa, offering views across the Nunakuma Islands and Saikai Sea.

The Kono clan, a medieval feudal family, conducted military victory prayers at this temple during their territorial control of the region.

The temple grounds contain a memorial stone with inscriptions by Kanzan Ohara, a distinguished Chinese classics scholar who taught young poet Shiki Masaoka.

The temple complex includes designated parking areas and remains accessible throughout the year, requiring a 50-minute drive from JR Yanagihara Station.

The temple preserves numerous Buddhist artifacts and maintains strong connections to local academic traditions through its historical ties to classical education.
