Tennen-Ji Temple

Oita prefecture is unique in many ways. It offers some of Japan’s most beautiful landscapes, with Kunisaki peninsula being our favorite! But Oita is also famous for its approach to religion with the Rokugo Manzan that contains elements of Buddhism, Shinto and mountain worship. It’s where both Buddhist and Shinto temples live in harmony connected to each other, and Tennen-ji is the perfect example of the Rokugo Manzan.

At Tennen-Ji you will find the pure tradition of Rokugo Manza. Kawanaka Fudo is a massive 3m tall rock with a carved face of Fudo Myoo located by the river and a Shinto shrine connected to a Buddhist temple, all located on the opposite side of the river.
