The Henjo Kutsu Cave is a spiritual destination located within the grounds of Daisho-in Temple on Miyajima Island. This incredible cave serves as an homage to Buddhism and features a ceiling lined with lanterns and eighty-eight Buddhist statues, which signify the eighty-eight temples of the Ohenro Pilgrimage in Shikoku. This majestic place offers visitors a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere and also is a site for contemplation, reflection, and prayer. As you explore the cave, you will feel a sense of calmness and amazement as the lanterns light up the room and the hundreds of statues render comfort and serenity. Come to the Henjo Kutsu Cave to experience genuine spirituality and indulge in this one-of-a-kind journey.
