Oiwayama Nisseki-ji Temple, the head temple of the Shingon sect, is an ancient temple said to have been founded by Gyoki in 725.
The five rock-carved Buddha statues, designated as important cultural properties by the country, are the statue of Acala, two children (Konkaradoji and Seitakadoji), the statue of Amida Nyorai, and the statue of a monk. Among them, the statue of Acala (height approx. 3.5m) is considered one of the best rock-carved Buddha statues in the country due to its size, beauty, and state of preservation.
The water that springs around the rock of Acala, called "Oiwaya Fuji Water," is said to be effective in curing eye diseases, and has been designated as one of "Toyama's famous waters," and many people come to draw the water.
There are six waterfalls behind the temple, and you can do ascetic training under them.
It is said that it can get rid of worldly desires...
And the famous local dish is Oiwa somen!
It feels a little different from other somen noodles
It has thin noodles and a simple, elegant taste
There is often a long line
Relax in the nearby hot springs♨️
We hope you will stop by when you come to Toyama.
It will bring you good fortune!
