Monjusenji

Refreshing energy.

Smaller temple than some of it's neighbors, but still worth a visit as this area is very quite and peaceful.

Awesome...

国東のお寺に行くなら、必ずここは行った方がいいです。空港道路から30分ほどかかりますが、行くかいはあります。駐車場は広いので安心です。祈願の方は前もって連絡をすると間違いないと思います。行った方ならわかる、最高のロケーションです。オススメです。

The Kunisaki Peninsula is a circular peninsula located in the northeastern part of Oita Prefecture. From the rise in the central part of the peninsula (Ryoko volcanic group), the mountain ridge and the valley between it extend radially toward the four enclosures. The entire Kunisaki Peninsula is formed by the ejecta of Futago volcano, and the center of radiation is Mt. Futago (720.6 meters), the highest peak on the peninsula. From the Nara period to the Heian period, a Buddhist culture called "Rokugo Manzan" was formed, which incorporated the Hachiman faith derived from Usa Hachimangu into the Tendai sect. At the gates of shrines and temples on the Kunisaki Peninsula, a round stone statue of Nio is enshrined. The stone statue of Nio is located throughout the Kunisaki Peninsula, and is a valuable cultural heritage of the Kunisaki Peninsula, including the Kunisaki Tower and the Gorinto. The combination of the torii gate and the statue of Nio is the history of Shinbutsu Shugo on the Kunisaki Peninsula. On the Kunisaki Peninsula, a shrine also enshrines a statue of Nio, and a torii can be seen in a temple. There was a history of Nio being excluded or destroyed from the gate of the shrine by the Shinbutsu bunri decree of the Meiji era. Many of the statues of Nio are made of wood enshrined at the temple gate, and are placed on the left and right sides of the temple gate. Nio is the guardian deity of the cathedral and the Buddha, and is generally in the form of a shirtless statue of Nio, but some older Nio statues wear armor. Nioh is also said to be the incarnation of Teishakuten. On the right is an A-un with an open mouth, and on the left is an A-un with a tied mouth. The "A" in "Aun" is the first sound that comes out when you open your mouth, which represents the beginning, and the "吽" is the last sound that closes your mouth, which represents the end. The two letters "Aun" are said to represent the origin of all things. Nio is the same as Nio, who has the same origin as Nio, and means something with a Vajra. The two bodies of A-un are originally the same body, and the A-un statue is called "Narayana Kengo" and the A-un statue is called "Narayana Kongo". Tendai Sect Mt.
