Ōyama-dera, Buddhist temple in Isehara, Japan
The temple stands on Mount Oyama with its main hall housing an iron statue of Acala, created in 1264 by monk Kenjō.
Founded in 755 by Roben from Todai-ji Temple under Emperor Shōmu's decree, the temple later received protection from the Tokugawa shogunate.
The temple forms part of the Kanto Three Great Acalas and serves as a station on both the Kanto 36 Fudo Temples and Kanto 88 Temples pilgrimages.
Visitors reach the temple via cable car from Isehara Station, with the journey including a 15-minute walk between bus stop and cable car station.
During the Edo period, the temple gained fame through the Oyama-mairi pilgrimages, which drew thousands of worshippers from the Kanto region.
