Daiun-ji, Buddhist temple in Iwakura, Japan.
The temple contains multiple buildings situated near a waterfall, featuring traditional Japanese architecture and stone lanterns along winding paths.
Emperor Enyuu Tenno established Daiun-ji in 971, selecting this location for its natural spring water and mountainous setting in the Kitayama region.
The temple houses an eleven-faced Kannon statue created by Gyoki Bosatsu, which remains a central focus of religious ceremonies and meditation practices.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily from sunrise to sunset, with special meditation sessions scheduled during morning hours.
The temple's sacred well, Akai no mizu, gained recognition in 701 for its water properties, leading to the establishment of treatment facilities.
