The Kunisaki Peninsula's terrain consists of the 721 meter tall Mount Futago at the center and a series of valleys radiating from it. The region's calm countryside is dotted with dozens of temples and some shrines and was traditionally divided into six areas. The region was therefore collectively known as Rokugo Manzan (Six Towns Full Mountain).
Kumano Magaibutsu Stone Buddha (熊野磨崖仏) Two large stone carve into the walls of a cliff: an eight meter tall Fudomyoo and a nearly seven meter tall Dainichi Buddha. They are the largest Buddhist stone carvings in Japan, but are not as elaborate sculpted as the Usuki Stone Buddhas, as they were carved into harder rock than the ones at Usuki. It is unknown when exactly these huge stone carvings were made, but it is estimated that they were created in the late Heian Period. In order to see the carvings, visitors have to walk through the forest for around 30 minutes first along a gravel path and then along a steep flight of stairs.
