【The Miraculous Cliffside Temple – Nageiredo at Mitokusan】
Located in Mitokusan Sanbutsuji Temple, Tottori Prefecture, Nageiredo is one of Japan’s most mysterious and powerful spiritual spots.
Perched on a sheer cliffside, the temple seems as if it was “thrown” into place—hence the name Nageiredo (“Thrown-in Hall”).

How it was built remains a mystery to this day. It is designated as a National Treasure and is a prime example of Japanese mountain Buddhist architecture.

Visiting the temple requires climbing a steep mountain path, a true path of ascetic training. Make sure to wear proper hiking shoes and prepare carefully for the climb.
Because reaching it isn’t easy, the sense of awe and accomplishment is that much greater.

📍Location: Misasa Town, Tottori Prefecture
