Iwaya-ji

Iwaya-ji is an ancient temple standing on the cliff face of Hinoamisaki, a truly hidden sanctuary. It is a rare temple hall utilizing a natural rock cave and holds a long history as a sacred site of Shugendo mountain asceticism. Standing on cliffs where rough waves crash, it creates a sacred space truly unified with nature. The sense of accomplishment from reaching it through a difficult path is incomparable, and visitors can experience a special time that purifies the soul.
