Mitokusan Sanbutsu-ji Temple Nageiredo is famed for its unique construction, seemingly thrown into a cliffside cave by the legendary En no Gyoja. This stunning national treasure, also known as Zao-den Hall, is a must-see for its architectural marvel and spiritual significance. Located in Misasa, Tottori Prefecture, the temple is accessible by a 40-minute bus ride from Kurayoshi Station. Note that access may be restricted during inclement weather or winter months (April to December, 8:00 to 15:00).
