Visit an Ancient Temple Perched on a Mountain
About this spot
An ancient temple said to have been founded in the Heian period, nestled on the slopes of Mount Iwafune. As you ascend the long stone steps of the approach path, you'll reach a serene temple hall surrounded by mountain greenery. The stone steps offer expansive views of the surrounding farmland, offering a peaceful atmosphere quite different from the town exploration. The sense of accomplishment combined with the crisp summer air creates a memorable experience.
