Iwato Kannon

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:18:17

This small temple fronts a 120m-long cave that has 33 statues of Kannon, the Buddhist deity of compassion, and is dedicated to road workers who lost their lives constructing roads in the area. At the time of research, the cave was closed due to rockfalls. Check out the lovely old Jōzankei photographs on display.
