History

Byakko

Known as a sacred site of the Kunisaki Peninsula, Monju Senji enshrines the Bodhisattva Manjushri as an ancient temple. True to its name, it is deeply revered as a Buddha of wisdom, attracting people from across the nation, particularly those seeking academic achievement. It has a history of flourishing as a training hall of ascetic practice within Rokugomanzam and is also a sacred site of mountain worship. The view from the main hall reached by climbing a steep mountain path is magnificent, leaving one feeling purified in body and spirit. True to the saying "three heads are wiser than one," it is known for blessings of wisdom and learning.
