    A Tendai Buddhist temple standing silently along Prefectural Route 655 in Bungotakada City. Erected in the Heian period (794–1185) as a shrine in the Usa Jingu Shrine complex, the temple’s principle object of worship, a seated wooden figure of Amitabha Tathagatta, is designated an Important Cultural Property.

    Beautiful amazingly preserved temple, well not entirely - there are spots on the walls with graffiti made by local kids who used it as their playground in the 1950s but it makes it all the more...

    Oita Kunisaki-shi Kunisakimachi Iwatoji 1232
    This ancient Tendai Buddhist temple, a 40-minute drive from the Oita Airport, is located on the northeast side of the Kunisaki Peninsula and is believed to have been founded by the priest Ninmon in 718. The statues of Ninmon on the approach to the temple are said to have been created in the Muromachi period and to be the oldest stone statues of the priest in Japan. Kunisakito vase-shaped stone pagodas on lotus pedestals, which are unique to Kunisaki, can be found behind the temple; their lotus pedestals are believed to have been made in the Kamakura period. The temple holds the Shujo Onie, a traditional fire festival to welcome the coming of spring, on the seventh day of the lunar New Year in odd-numbered years (on even-numbered years, the festival is held at the Jobutsuji Temple).

    幕司如来が本尊、立派な仁王像もあります。上への登り口には茅葺の講堂もあり、風情があります。是非立ち寄りたいお寺の一つです。

    大分空港から、北に１２K 車で１５分。 足利尊氏が、日本全国68か所に建てた安国寺のひとつで、応永元年（1394年）にその最後（68番目）の寺として建立されたところに意義があるとか。 本堂に安置された、木造足利尊氏坐像は、等身大で、室町幕府初代将軍足利尊氏の肖像で、京都東山に旧在、応仁文明の乱後に山科地蔵寺に移され、明治期に この大分の安国寺にもたらされた。製作時期は南北朝期に遡るとみられ、国...

    Oita Kunisaki-shi Kunisakimachi Yokote

    六郷満山の第23番札所。六郷満山を含む国東半島の寺院は天台宗が多いが、ここは珍しく曹洞宗だ。江戸時代は九州の曹洞宗総本山だったという。風格がある石段の先には二重門の山門がそびえ、石仏の仁王像がある。正面の仏殿は室町時代の建築で、かやぶきの大きな屋根が珍しい。仏殿と開山堂は国の重要文化財だ。ご朱印をいただく間に本堂などを見学させてもらったが、壇上の本堂と寺務所が渡り廊下でつながっているなど、かなり...

Oita Areas

around-area-map

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
