Futago-ji (両子寺) is a Tendai Buddhist temple in Kunisaki, Ōita Prefecture, Japan. It is located on the slopes of Mount Futago ( 両子山, Futagosan), the highest mountain on the Kunisaki Peninsula.
The temple was established in 718 by Ninmon and became the central temple of Rokugō Manzan (六郷満山). [1] The Rokugō Manzan culture is said to be the origin of Shinbutsu-shūgō, or the syncretism of Buddhism and Shinto. As such, both Shinto and Buddhist elements can be seen at Futago-ji. [2]. [3]
The temple precincts are a Prefectural Historic Site included within a Special Zone of the Setonaikai National Park. [1] [4] [5]
