Hanibe Gankutsu-in

Located in the northeastern area of Komatsu City, once known for its stone production. Inside a 150-meter-long cave opened in 1951 by sculptor Yuma Togata using a repurposed former quarry, many stone Buddha statues and more are enshrined, and its striking scenes have become a hot topic on social media in Japan and abroad.

It’s not a traditional solemn temple. It actually feels a bit eerie, even slightly spooky. The Buddha statues in the cave and the sculptures of hell scenes are really striking!

If you enjoy Kyoto’s slower pace, you’ll probably love this place. It’s a low-key temple, but it really leaves a lasting impression.
