Kunisaki Peninsula

On the Kunisaki Peninsula, there are several mountain valleys which radiate from the centrally-located Mount Futago outwards toward the surrounding sea.

"[5][6] The most central of the Rokugō Manzan temples is Futago-ji (両子寺）which is more than 1,300 years old and is located on Mount Futago.

The trail, which has been used by monks for hundreds of years, leads hikers to many of the peninsula's most notable landmarks (primarily its temples).

[9] The trail also includes a climb of the 721 meter-tall Mount Futago, the tallest mountain on the peninsula.

[8] Oita Airport is located in the southeastern part of the peninsula on reclaimed land in Kunisaki.

A hovercraft which connected Oita Airport on the peninsula to Ōita City until it was suspended in 2009 is planned to resume service in fall of 2024.
