Highlights: The temples of Rokugo Manzan are divided into six areas surrounding Mount Futago. The unique local religious culture of Rokugo Manzan contains the elements of Buddhism, Shintoism and mountain worship contribute to form a special local religious culture in this area. Stone statues of Buddha and other deities are the key characteristic in this culture, which many believe the carving of religious stone statues originated from this area in Japan. A noteworthy characteristic of the Rokugo Manzan culture is the predominance of stone statues of Buddhas and other deities and guardians.

📍 What is Oita Airport? Oita Airport is the first airport in Japan to be developed as a horizontal spaceport. In partnership with the American space company Virgin Orbit, they planned to develop space using an aircraft to launch rockets into the air. With its long runway and close to the ocean, the airport is attracting attention as a new base for the space industry. Currently, the plan has been put on hold due to Virgin Orbit's bankruptcy, but Oita Prefecture continues to promote the spaceport concept and is seeking partnerships with new companies. Be sure to check out Oita Airport, where dreams of space are expanding! 📍 Basic information 📍 Location: Itohara, Musashi-cho, Kunisaki-shi, Oita Prefecture ⏰ Business hours: 6:30-21:30 (Terminal building) 🚶 Access 🚌 Approximately 60 minutes by airport bus from Oita Station 🚗 Approximately 50 minutes by car from Oita Expressway, Oita IC #Oita Airport #Horizontal spaceport #Space travel #Space industry #Japan's first #Aerospace #Airport of the future #Beppu travel #Oita tourism #Innovation #0 yen travel February 2025

#DomesticTravelRecord This year, I went to Mt. Emei Manjusri-senji Temple in Kunisaki City for my first visit of the year. Founded in 648, Mt. Emei Manjusri-senji Temple is known as one of the three great Manjus in Japan and is said to be the birthplace of the proverb "Three heads are better than one." The principal image of the temple, Manjusri Bodhisattva, is displayed to the public once every 12 years in the Year of the Rabbit. There are nearly 300 stone steps leading up to the main hall, Manjusri-do. I heard that the proper way to climb is from the main approach, so I climbed the stone steps to the main hall. The lush main approach gave me a sense of history and weight. (There is also an east approach that does not require climbing any steps.) The scenery around Manjusri-senji Temple is called "Manjusri-yama" and is a nationally designated place of scenic beauty, so please enjoy the scenery as well. ▪️ Mt. Emei Manjusri Temple 21st temple of the Usa Shrine Rokugo Manzan Pilgrimage [Denomination] Tendai [Main deity] Monjushiri Bodhisattva [Admission fee] Please leave a tip when visiting 2432 Daionji, Kunisaki-cho, Kunisaki-shi, Oita Prefecture 0978-74-0820 *As of January 2025, the city road between Manjusri Temple and Iwato-ji Temple is completely closed.

I flew from Oita Airport to Korea✨ As of November 2024, JEJU Airlines operates one flight per day between Oita and Seoul✈️ It's a small airport with the waiting room and boarding gate next to each other, so departure and entry are quick⭐️ The departure physical examination machine is particularly noteworthy!
