  Sakedachi Cliff Carvings

  A group of 51 Buddhist carvings carved into a cave approximately 5 meters wide, 2 meters high, and 1.5 meters deep behind the Sakedachi settlement in Kaneyama Town. Created around 200 years ago, 36 of the statues remain today. Because many depict Fudō Myōō, they are believed to have been carved by ascetic practitioners (shugendō monks).
