Mount Kubote (求菩提山, Kubotesan) is a mountain on the border of the city of Buzen and the town of Chikujō, in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.

The final purpose of Shugendō is for practitioners to find supernatural power and save themselves and the masses by conducting religious training while treading through steep mountain ranges.

A copy of the Lotus Sutra on 33 copper plates was discovered in a cave on the mountain in the Taiei era (1521–1528) with his name and the date of October 21, 1142.

Shugendō gradually fell into decline during the Edo Period, and was banned by the Meiji government in 1870 with its Shinbutsu bunri edict separating Shinto from Buddhism.

[2] At present, there is a Shinto shrine at the summit, reached by a climb of 850 stone steps, and a museum and campsite at the foot of the mountain.
