What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the Harahoge Jizo statues to be unique and appreciate the local care they receive. While beautiful, especially at sunset, some note it's not a destination to go out of your way for due to limited surrounding attractions and transport.
"Cool formations, cool that they’re tended to, but not really worth going out of your way to see. There’s not much else to see in the area and it’s not serviced by bus"

"Harahoge Jizo
(statues of guardian deity of children) Six jizo statues are believed to liberate all life forms from suffering and pain. They are called harahoge jizo because of the hole in the abdominal section."
