Yamamoto Fudouson Temple is located in the southern west of Tanagura Town. This temple is quite famous for autumn colors. Although Sakura trees had not bloomed yet, I enjoyed the great nature here.

The most famous spot of Yamamoto Fudouson Temple is the steep stairs over there.

I went down the stairs in the first place to get there.

And I walked on the bridge. The sacred red color looked outstanding here.

And I started to walk up the stairs. Can you feel how steep these stairs are?

They are really, really steep.

I arrived at the top! I found a 300-year-old Sakura tree at the top,

and a statue of Koubou Daishi, a famous monk.

It was more scary to walk down the stairs. I really want you to come here to feel it by yourself.

I found a riverside with three small waterfalls in the inner area. The water was so transparent that I could clearly see even the bottom of the river. Yamamoto Fudouson Temple is such a nice place with great nature.
