Anamonju

‘Anamonju’ is a 10m tall sea cave formed by erosion over time of the rocky coast where it meets the waves. The Tango Peninsula is home to an abundance of sea caves but Anamonju is one of the most prominent.

Right on top of Anamonju, stands a Temple called Seiryozan Kuhonji Temple and the main god of worship is ‘Monju’ a god that was enshrined deep within the cave. Since the god ‘Monju’ was originally inside the cave, the cave itself is known as ‘Anamonju’ (Ana meaning hole) or ‘Monjusan’.
