Bungotakada City, on the western Kunisaki Peninsula, faces the Suo Sea. Temples of Rokugo Manzan (the peninsula's Buddhist culture) remain, including the National Treasure O-do hall of Fuki-ji Temple, considered Kyushu's oldest wooden building, and Maki O-do Temple with its rows of Buddha statues. "Showa no Machi," a shopping street recreating the Showa era, is also lively.
