History
Iwaya-ji, cradled deep within the mountains of Kuman, stands as a sanctuary for sincere practitioners of the Buddhist path. Surrounded by ancient rock formations, seekers come to strip away worldly attachments and confront their true nature. The concentrated spiritual energy flowing through this mountain temple deepens practice and transforms souls.
