Iwaya-ji
Index
Iwaya-ji is Temple No. 45 of the Shikoku 88-temple pilgrimage. It’s said to have been founded in 815. Behind the temple is a cleft in a rock where Kōbō Daishi practised austerity and discipline. Around the main hall are several caves where hermits lived. The whole area has a unique atmosphere. The Daishidō hall is designated an important national cultural property. The grove of massive Japanese horse-chestnuts between the main gate and main hall has been selected as one of Japan’s hundred best natural scenes.
