Rokugo Manzan Light Up 2016 from November 11th (Saturday) ~ December 3rd (Saturday)

Contents


This year’s highlight event is the “Celebrating the 1300 years of Rokugo Manzan in the year Heisei 30”, where Rokugo Manzan, the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, will be illuminated.

Rokugo Manzan is a collective region of six areas called Kunawa, Tazome, Aki, Musashi, Kunisaki, and Imi where each area are filled with temples and shrines; hence the name “Rokugo Manzan”. It was said that it took hundreds of years, from the Nara period (year 710AD to 793AD) until the Heian period (from 794 AD to 1191AD), for all 6 areas to be combined into one.

Rokugo Manzan is the scared place where Buddhism and the gods joined together to become one, come and experience the holiness of the mountain and the land.
