Inukai Stone Buddha ❚ Oita Bungoono Geopark The Inukai Stone Buddha is located in Inukai Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture. This rock-carved statue, etched into a cliff by the Ono River, depicts a Fudo Myoo (Acala) with a height of approximately 3.8 meters. While many may envision Fudo Myoo with a stern expression, this stone Buddha is known for its gentle, rounded face. Flanking it are standing statues of Seitaka Doji and Kongara Doji, carved closely beside it, with the characters "Ryūdenzan" also inscribed on the rock face. Nearby, a Gorintō (five-storied pagoda) stands, creating a tranquil space that evokes a sense of history by the quiet riverbank. The rock on which the statue is carved is believed to be welded tuff formed from the Aso pyroclastic flow about 90,000 years ago, and it is estimated to date back to the Kamakura period based on the style of the statue. 【Location】Tawara Watanose, Inukai Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture ■■Access from Fukuoka Prefecture and Kumamoto Prefecture to the center of Bungoono City■■■ Approximately 3 hours by car from JR Hakata Station in Fukuoka Prefecture Approximately 2 hours by car from JR Kumamoto Station in Kumamoto Prefecture Approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes by car from JR Beppu Station in Oita Prefecture Approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes by car from JR Yufuin Station in Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■ Introducing recommended sightseeing spots in Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu ■■■■■■■■■■■■

You can enjoy evening dishes and weekend lunches here. This warm establishment values handmade flavors. One of its features is that they prepare everything from demi-glace sauce to ponzu and dressings in-house. The owner, who has gained experience in various restaurants, opened this place with the desire to create an ideal shop. For lunch, we recommend the roast beef bowl made with Oita Prefecture's Wagyu beef. You can enjoy it slowly while changing the flavors with grated daikon and wasabi.
