Sightseeing Spots in Kunisaki Peninsula
Kumano Magaibutu
The Kumano Magaibutsu are Buddha statues carved into the cliff face. From the base of Nokogiriyama Mountain, you ascend approximately 90 meters up roughly hewn stone steps to reach two large Buddha statues carved into the rock. These depict Fudō Myō-ō and Dainichi Nyorai, each standing about eight meters tall. They are believed to have been carved in the late 12th century.

Madama Beach
Madama Beach is renowned for its scenic beauty. It offers a breathtaking view at low tide during sunset, when the exposed tidal flats and sea reflect the sunlight in a stunning display.
Showa-Town Area
This area is designed to recreate a town from the Showa Era. You can explore the interiors of old houses and an elementary school, and buy dagashi—the classic Japanese cheap snacks that were popular among children at the time. It feels like stepping back in time.
Fuki-ji Temple
Fuki-ji Temple was founded in the 8th century. Its Amida Hall, the oldest wooden structure in Kyushu, has been designated a National Treasure.
