Sugao Magaibutsu
❚ Oita Bungoono Geopark
Sugao Magaibutsu stands in Mie Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture.
Its full, gentle face and softly rounded shoulders show a beautifully three-dimensional carving.
Its craftsmanship is exquisitely detailed, comparable to wooden Buddhist statues in Kyoto and Nara.
Sugao Magaibutsu is thought to date from the end of the Heian period. It is carved into welded tuff from the Aso pyroclastic flow about 90,000 years ago.
It has been designated a National Important Cultural Property and a Historic Site.
Location: 466 Asase, Mie Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture

About a five-minute drive from Sugao Magaibutsu is Roadside Station Mie, which offers a panoramic view of Enaito no Kei. It’s a good spot to take a break.
