Ganryu-jinja Shrine
A shrine dedicated to Buddhist deity Fudoson. Fudoiwa–an enormous rock formation towering like a small mountain behind the shrine–is the principle object of worship. It has a long history and has been designated Tono Heritage Site No. 31. You reach the shrine by crossing a beautiful bridge with vermilion railings over a river flowing in front of the shrine. Every year in August, local volunteers put on the Otomo Matsuri and Ganryu-jinja Shrine Festival with a parade of participants in colorful costumes.
