Kunisaki

Kunisaki is a peninsula of wooded hills and steep valleys on the northern coast of Bungo. Its temples formed the religious world known as Rokugō Manzan, where mountain practice, Tendai Buddhism and devotion to the deity Hachiman met. Closely linked to Usa Shrine, these communities left wooden images, stone Buddhas and countless memorial towers among the valleys. Their sacred landscape joined the peninsula's rugged terrain to a distinctive tradition of worship.
