Kosan-ji — Senbutsudo Jigokukyo (Cave of a Thousand Buddhas)
耕三寺 千佛洞地獄峡こうさんじ せんぶつどうじごくきょう
Inside Kosan-ji on Setoda, a 350-meter cave passage stages the hells and paradises of Buddhist cosmology in physical form. The temple's official page describes how, to let visitors experience Genshin's Ojo-Yoshu through sight, the cavern was built up with lava from Mt. Fuji and burnt stones from Mt. Asama, with roughly a thousand stone Buddhas and relief carvings enacting the Ten Realms. Rather than framing the whole complex as a museum, the listing focuses on this hell-cavern as a singular grotto installation.
