Kumano Magaibutsu Stone Buddha

Located in Kinusaki peninsula, Kumano Magaibutsu is the largest Buddha image carved into a rock face in Japan. It is said that this statue was carved in a single night by goblins living nearby during the late Heian period. Two statues were built with a 8M tall Fudo Myoo on the left side of the mountain and a 7m tall statue of Dainichi Nyorai on the right side.
