Roadside Station Hiko-san

It was built on the north side of Eihikoyama Jingu Temple in 1987 in order to preserve the well-known materials of Shugendo's history. It displays materials on Shugendō, as well as cultural objects excavated from the ruins. There is also a statue of a copper-made god made during the Kamakura period, which is the oldest surviving in Japan, such as a plate-oi used by the master of the Muromachi period. It is a must-see for the gold-copper Nyorai statue [Kondoku Nyorari Ritsuzo] (Important Cultural Property), and the copper suitor [Dosei Ikyotsutsu] (Important Cultural Property) containing the scriptures. Take one hour.

The garden is located a short distance from the approach to Eihikoyama Shrine. It is reported that a Muromachi period painting monk, Sesshu, stayed in Kameishibo after returning from China and built this garden around the year of civilization 11 (1479). There is also a garden designated as the national name of the country at Mandokorobo near the temple. The area is 762 square meters, and you can see the arrangement of stones in the forest and the pond.

The prefectural border between Fukuoka and Oita, the peak of which consists of three peaks of Kitadake, Nakadake, and Minamidake, is a majestic view and is also a treasure trove of wild birds. The shrines of the Eihikoyama Shrine are scattered from the middle to the summit of the mountain, leading from the approach of the copper torii to the road through the cherry-tree-lined cobblestones and the Eihikoyama Shrine to the upper shrine. In addition, the view from the vicinity of Buzenbo is good at the Takanozu Mountain (Natural Monument), which shows the unusual mountain range northeast of Eihiko Mountain, which is particularly spectacular around the time of autumn foliage. The autumn leaves of the Fukakura Gorge, which is also located on Mount Eihiko and shows the stunning beauty of the valley, are also beautiful.
