Inukai Stone Buddhas
Oita Bungoono Geopark
The Inukai Stone Buddhas are located in Inukai Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture.
They are cliff carvings of Buddha figures sculpted into welded tuff from the Aso pyroclastic flow about 90,000 years ago.
Based on the style of the figures, they are estimated to have been created in the Kamakura period.
Although representing Fudo Myoo, the figures are notable for their gentle expressions.
