History

Kashozan Ryugein Mirogokukoji is a temple with a mystical atmosphere, located at an altitude exceeding 1,000 meters. Revered as one of Japan's three great Gongen (divine manifestations), it has attracted much devotion since ancient times. In particular, Miroku Bosatsu (Maitreya Buddha) is enshrined as the principal image, and it is said to bestow blessings of good fortune, family safety, and physical health. The view from the summit is magnificent, inspiring visitors with awe.
