Futago-ji

The temple complex extends across the lower slopes of Mount Futago, featuring multiple buildings connected by stone pathways and traditional gates.

Founded in 718 by monk Ninmon, Futago-ji developed into the central institution of the Rokugo-Manzan temples during the Edo Period.

The temple exhibits both Buddhist and Shinto architectural elements, including torii gates and stone Nio guardian statues measuring over 230 centimeters.

Visitors can explore the temple grounds throughout the year, with autumn offering views of colored maple trees across the complex.

According to local beliefs, the stone bridge at the entrance will collapse if animals cross it, while non-believers will convert to Buddhism.
