Located directly on Japan's largest fault line—the Median Tectonic Line—Bungui Pass is celebrated as a 'zero magnetic field' zone where positive and negative magnetic forces are said to be perfectly balanced. After a qigong master described it as 'Japan's most powerful power spot,' it has drawn visitors from across the country.

History & Origins
The pass is geologically unique, situated on the Fossa Magna (the boundary fault). It gained rapid national attention in the 2000s after qigong practitioner Kenjiro Naka introduced the concept of the 'zero magnetic field' zone.
Highlights
The reputed 'ki' energy spots near the pass, the dramatic exposure of the Median Tectonic Line fault, and panoramic views across the Ina Valley are the main draws. Specific points where visitors claim to feel the mysterious 'ki' energy attract the most attention.
Visitor Guide
Private vehicles are restricted—take a shuttle bus from Okashimura in Shimoina District or from JR Inashi Station. At 1,424 m elevation, warm clothing is essential.
Best Season
May to October (the pass is closed in winter due to heavy snowfall).
