Journey to Buri-zu Kannon Bosatsu

A single grain of silence

Buri-zu Kannon Bosatsu stands on the mountainside protruding into the Uwa Sea. Surrounded by green mountains and filled with the scent of trees carried by the wind, this place is like a serene world where time has stopped.

Impregnable fortress, the protector of ancient people

This mountaintop area was once used as a fortress to protect people from danger. The fortress built on the steep mountainside stands as if to intimidate the visitors. Thinking about the history, one can imagine the way people lived at that time.

The power of prayer resides in the Buddha statue

The Kannon Bosatsu statue standing on the mountaintop is made by assembling a single rock cut from the rocky shore like a piece of woodwork. The figure carefully crafted by skilled artisans reaches the realm of art.

Overlooking the town from the scenic viewpoint

Climbing the stairs leading to the mountaintop, you will be greeted with a magnificent view where you can overlook the Uwa Sea and the town beyond. The landscape where the beauty of nature and the life of the town coexist will surely heal your heart.

Savoring the traditional techniques

On the way back, it would be nice to savor the local cuisine passed down through generations by the locals. The simple yet profound taste embodies the life culture of this place.
