The guru prayed earnestly around the mountain, and on the seventh day, a white-haired old man appeared and told him, ""I have been waiting for you to come. If you carve my image and enshrine it, it will benefit people,"" and the being transformed himself into a thousand-armed Kannon. It is said that the main image of the statue, the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, was carved over the next 1,000 days.

Sugisaka Monument
This monument was erected to commemorate one of Emperor Go-Daigo's loyal samurai, Kojima Takanori's most tragic failures. Emperor Go-Daigo (1288-1339) was exiled to the remote Oki Islands after the failed coup d'etat attempt to overthrow the Kamakura Shogunate. While being transported, Kojima Takanori waited at Funasaka Pass to ambush the transportation unit and save Emperor Go-Daigo from being exiled. However, the Emperor did not pass through the Funasaka Pass but through the Sugisaka Pass at this very spot. When Takanori learned of this, he rushed to Sugisaka Pass, but he was too late and unable to save the Emperor.
