Sobura Tochinokidani

A valley in Mount Izumi-Katsuragi, known to this day as a yamabushi training site and also called Fudodani (“Fudo valley”). The Katsurei-zakki writes that En no Gyoja performed Goma fire rituals here. Deep within the steep valley is the 10-meter-high Fudo waterfall, a sacred training site. The area has been preserved and passed down by local residents, landowners, and Shugendo practitioners.
