Located on the summit of Mt. Takeyama at a height of 200 meters is Ryuchozanjikyoji-takeyama-fudoin. It is Temple No. 1 on the pilgrimage among the Miura Peninsula’s sacred spots. Every year, many people visit the temple to observe the Buddhist holiday, Hatsufudo, held on January 28.

Takeyama to catch a glimpse of the Black Ships according to records by peasants at the time.
