History
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.

Tips
山門から本殿を抜けてさらに奥に進むと岩窟の文殊堂があり、岩から「知恵の水」が湧いています。最奥まで歩いてください。
境内の宝篋印塔は日本最大級(高さ約9m)で、晴天時には瀬戸内海越しに四国・山口県まで見渡せます。
参道入口に無料駐車場(約50台)があります。足が不自由な方は車で本殿近くまで上がることもできます。
