Perché dovresti andare
- The temple sits on an active volcanic landscape where sulfur mists rise from the ground, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that Japanese Buddhists associate with the boundary between life and death.
- Hot springs bubble up naturally around the temple grounds, and visitors can bathe in them after paying respects to the dead, a unique combination of spiritual practice and volcanic geography.
- Mount Osore is considered one of three sacred gateways to the afterlife in Japan. Pilgrims visit to communicate with deceased loved ones through blind mediums called itako during summer festivals.
