Katsuragi Shugen 21st Sutra Mound. It is located on the summit of Mt. Wakude, east of the summit of Mt. Kongo, the highest peak in the Izumi-Kongo mountain range, which was once called Mt. Katsuragi or Mt. Takamagatake. If you go down from the first torii gate of Katsuragi Shrine, which enshrines Hitokotonushi-no-Okami, you will find a stone monument erected on top of the piled stones. The sutra mound is said to have been located in Iwaya Monju to the south, and was moved there in 1971.
