They are designated a Historic Site of Oita Prefecture. Centred on the Fudo Myoo statue, 11.4 m high, the largest in Oita Prefecture and among the largest cliff Buddhas in Japan, are flanked on both sides by statues of the attendants Kongara Doji and Seitaka Doji. On the right are two niches; in the left niche are enshrined statues including a round-carved Dainichi Nyorai, and on the side wall are carved statues of Amida Nyorai, a small Kongara Doji, a small Fudo Myoo and a small Seitaka Doji.
