Reijo Kishu (Kishu Sacred Site)
〒035-0021 青森県むつ市田名部宇曽利山３−２
Located in Mutsu City, Aomori Prefecture, this is an active volcano. On the shores of the lake lies Kishu Bodaiji (Kishu Bodaiji Temple), one of Japan's three great sacred sites. Due to the influence of volcanic gas, no plants grow here, creating a unique landscape often identified with hell or a spiritual realm.
History
It is traditionally said to have been founded in 862 CE (Sagan 4) by Ennin (Daiji Daiso Ennin). It was formerly known as Usori, but the name gradually changed to Kishu. Since the Heian period, it has been known as a place with strong ties to the Abe clan of the Oshu region.

What visitors say
The vast precincts are well-maintained, featuring a fantastical scenery and a calm atmosphere. There are also hot spring facilities, allowing visitors to spend time leisurely. However, access takes time as it is far from high-speed rail and Shinkansen lines, requiring travel through mountain roads. In summer, precautions against heatstroke are necessary.
