The Udono Buddhist rock carvings in Ōchi, Karatsu City, have a history that goes back to the 9th century. According to records, Kōbō-Daishi (also known as Kūkai), who is the founder of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, came through here in 806 while returning from China en route to Kyoto. According to legend, Kūkai carved 3 Buddhist figures himself; however, they are no longer visible. Currently, there are around 60 carved images that are thought to have been created during the Nanboku-chō period (1334-1392). It is an undeniably ancient and interesting location that is well worth the trip.
