Sanbutsu-ji, Buddhist temple on Mount Mitoku, Misasa, Japan.
The Nageire-do Hall stands integrated into a cliff face at 900 meters elevation, supported by wooden beams extending from the rock surface.
Founded in 706, Sanbutsu-ji Temple received National Treasure status for its architectural design and religious significance in Japanese Buddhist heritage.
The temple complex serves as a center for Shugendo practices, combining Buddhist teachings with ancient mountain worship traditions of Japan.
The guided mountain pilgrimage takes approximately two hours, requiring 1,200 yen for adults and 600 yen for children between 7 and 12.
Wooden support structures maintain the hall's position against the vertical cliff without visible means of initial construction access.
