Abuto Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) in Fukuyama City is a place known as the Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) for safe childbirth and child rearing, but it is also a place where visitors can enjoy spectacular views and thrills. It is a temple of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism, located at the southern tip of the Numakuma Peninsula, on the rugged tip of Cape Abusagi, and was built in the Azuchi-Momoyama period by Mori Terumoto, an important cultural property of Japan. The temple is also famous for its unique landscape, standing in harmony with the sea and rocks, and was even featured in an ukiyoe woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige, a famous ukiyoe woodblock artist of the Edo period.

When you reach the very end of the Kannon-do Hall, directly below you is a precipitous cliff, with waves lapping against the cliff and the sea, a thrilling place to be. The view in front of you is spectacular, offering a panoramic view of the blue ocean, the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, and the horizon. However, the knee-high fence of the Kannon-do Hall may be intimidating at first, especially if you are not fond of heights. Visitors who are uncomfortable with heights should be especially careful.

To be a witness of this mystery, you need to fulfill the above conditions, but it is a view worth seeing, so please give it a try.
