Area Map
Takkoku-No-Iwaya Bishamon-do is said to have been founded in 801 by generalissimo Sakanoue-no-Tamuramaro to commemorate his success in subduing the disturbances among local population. Bishamon-do was built with reference to Kiyomizu-dera temple in Kyoto, which was founded in 780 and known for its wooden stage. The cliff behind the hall, Buddha was carved on the face of the rock, which indicates that Bishamon-do has been the center of Buddhism worship for a long time. The precinct is a sacred area therefore you are not allowed to eat, drink or smoke. Though the access isn’t very convenient, it’s a highly recommended, quiet and solemn place to visit.
