Shrine / temple

Iwakiyama Shrine sits at the foot of Mount Iwaki, and has a history of over 1,200 years. From the torii entrance gate to the main inner shrine, or honden (本殿), is a nice, long path. The worship hall, or shaden (社殿) is nicknamed “Oku-nikko”, as its intricate carvings and designs resemble that of the walls of Nikko Tosho-gu Shrine in Tochigi prefecture.
