A statue of St. Kannon and 33 stone statues of Kannon protected by gigantic stones that suddenly appear in the mountains.

The sacred site ``Iwayado'', which is also introduced in ``The Saigoku 33 Famous Places Zue'', enshrines a statue of St. Kannon and 33 Kannon stone Buddhas, protected by a gigantic rock that suddenly appears in the mountains. In the past, strict Shugendo practices based on mountain worship were popular.
