History
The Iwado Kannon Hall nestled quietly in the hot spring town of Joyama has healed the spiritual wounds of countless souls. Enveloped in the steam of the waters, people have confronted their hearts before the compassion of the Kannon Bodhisattva. Loneliness and suffering are gently embraced in this sacred place.
