Heungbuam Hermitage (興府庵), a sacred site of Gaya Buddhism, sits on a steep spot atop Gimhae Imhosan Mountain (林虎山), whose shape resembles a crouching tiger. It is a temple founded by Monk Jangyu (長遊和尙) during the reign of King Suro of Garakguk to pray for the prosperity of the capital. The mountains surrounding the mysterious land of "Garakguk" have long been said to take the forms of turtles, dragons, and tigers. For this reason, the people of Gimhae believe that one day a great king, who disappeared after King Suro, will emerge from this place. Imhosan Mountain, which holds such energy, is known by various names—Yumin San, Gajo San, Hogu San, Anmin San, Bongmyeong San, and Imosan—and Imhosan (林虎山) is said to be named because its shape resembles a tiger's head, just as the name suggests. Heungbuam Hermitage, located in the center of Geumgwan Gaya, the heart of the old Gaya Kingdom, is said to have been founded in 48 AD by Monk Jangyu, the older brother of Queen Heo.
