 I went into the Oya Kannon Temple for the first time. There are ten "rock-carved Buddha" images carved into the rock, the first one dating from 810 A.D. They are very important cultural properties - but you're not allowed to take photos of them. You can tell that they were once coloured.

So here is one of the outside statues...

In the attached museums there is an 11,000 year old human skeleton which they excavated from the site in 1961.
