History
True to its name—Iwaya-san, the stone cave mountain—this temple is cradled within sacred rocks. Long revered as a spiritual site of Acalanatha, ascetics have trained their bodies and minds on this demanding peak. The waterfall cascades with purifying power, drawing pilgrims who seek hearts as strong as the thunderbolt scepter.
