Hidden Gem of Izumo: The Moss-Covered Jizo Statues' Village

The Serene World of the Waterfall Valley

Venture through the rugged mountain path and step into the depths of the waterfall valley, where a mysterious space seems to have suspended time. The dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves creates a fantastic interplay of shadows on the moss-covered rocks and Jizo statues.

Emotions Lodged in Each Jizo Statue

Lining this land are countless Jizo statues, each with a different expression – one filled with joy, another shrouded in sorrow, and another with serene composure. Simply imagining the emotions lodged in each statue is truly heartrending.

Pilgrimage Routes Embraced by Nature

The approach has two routes: a path along the river to enjoy the beauty of the stream, and a leisurely walking trail. As you leisurely walk, feeling the breath of nature, when you finally arrive at this place, a miraculous sight awaits you, leading you into a moment of tranquility and peace.

Reflecting on Emotions through Conversations with Jizo Statues

Open your heart and ponder the thoughts of each Jizo statue. In a moment of silence, you may find a new realization budding in the depths of your heart.

A hidden gem just next to the Ryokan I stayed at, in Izumo-shi (出雲市) a city in Shimane Prefecture - A beautiful rocky valley formation along Kobe river where the trees are almost touching the skies and there are more than 1,000 Buddha statues hidden in the jungle path. There is also a shrine surrounded by beautiful Japanese Plum Blossoms. There’s just so much peace and calmness here. Definitely will come back here again ❤️. . #izumo #shimane #otsutachicho #gosyoranba #ryokan #explorejapan #japan #nihon #instajapan #winterinjapan #winterwonderland #japantravel #travel #traveler #travelingourplanet #travelgram #instatravel 🇯🇵

Park your car at Wakaayu no Sato Park Campground, which is a little ahead. Gohyaku Arhat is about 15-20 minutes walk from there. There were many stone Buddha statues standing quietly in the moss-covered nature, and it was a place with an indescribable atmosphere.

A power spot in Otsutate Town. Because it is located in a gorge, the road in front of it is a strange one-way street, so the only way to get there is to walk from the Ayu no Sato parking lot in front of it. There are two routes from the parking lot: one where you cross the suspension bridge that you can see right in front of you (this route is well maintained, but takes a long detour), and one where you go along the river from the parking lot and cross the suspension bridge at the end (it feels like you are exploring). It takes about 15 minutes to get there via one of the many undulating roads. There are Jizo statues with various facial expressions, so it's interesting to look at each one's face while clasping their hands together. Since it was a weekday, I didn't see anyone, but I could feel the solemn atmosphere.
