DescriptionOn a large rock beyond Fudoji Temple on the slopes of Mount Kurokami, an enormous Fudo Myoo is carved in relief. Some visitor guides describe the figure as approximately 7 metres high, and a viewing platform stands in front of the rock face. Mount Kurokami has long been associated with mountain worship and Shugendo practices, with other stone Buddhist images scattered nearby. Visitors can approach this imposing figure closely, but must walk along a mountain path to reach it.
