Daikoku lurks in the forest of silence

“Daikokuten Magaibutsu” is hidden in the forest in the Unzen bessho area. Huge rocks are stacked on top of each other, and Daikokuten is carved into the natural stone in the cracks of the rocks. There is a theory that it was carved by a monk who practiced in Unzen, a sacred place of esoteric Shingon Buddhism, but it is not officially known who carved it and when. "A 10-minute walk along the 2.7-kilometer promenade around the Oshidori no Ike pond brings you to the shrine. After passing through the Torii gate and cedar trees, you will see the Daikokuten Magaibutsu Buddha. Daikokuten is located in a quiet forest with a mysterious atmosphere, and is popular among the locals as a god of business prosperity.
