Johgi Nyorai
©AFLO
Since ancient times, Johgi Nyorai has offered divine favor for marriage, bestowing children, and safe delivery of children. It is colloquially referred to as "Johgi-san" by visitors, who respect its power to grant once-in-a-lifetime wishes. The wooden Goju-to (five-story pagoda) standing amidst the natural environment is an impressive sight.
