About this place
Rokugō Manzan (六郷満山) refers to both a group of temples and a unique religious culture on the Kunisaki Peninsula (国東半島, Kunisaki Hantō) surrounding Mount Futago (両子山, Futago-san) in Ōita Prefecture, Japan. The Rokugō Manzan culture is said to be the birthplace of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhist elements (Shinbutsu-shūgō, 神仏習合).
