Monjyudo / Nageire-do

Monjyudo, a hall dedicated to the wisdom-giving deity Monju Bosatsu, is an important structure of historical and cultural significance. Located halfway up Mt. Mitoku, this majestic building appears at the end of a steep mountain path and is a special place for visitors to feel the spirit of Shugendo and harmony with nature. Monjudo has long been an important place of worship for locals and Shugendo practitioners to pray for wisdom and academic achievement. The architectural style is characteristic of traditional Japanese temple architecture, wooden and skillfully adapted to the steep mountain terrain. The beautiful craftsmanship in the shape of the roof and the detailed decorations attracts visitors.
