Fudō-in Iwaya-dō, Buddhist temple in Wakasa, Japan.
The Fudo-in Iwaya-do temple stands within a natural cave, featuring a wooden structure measuring 13 meters high, 7 meters wide, and 10 meters deep.
Built in 806, the temple survived the burning of the region during Hideyoshi's siege of Tottori Castle in the 16th century.
The temple houses a black-skinned statue of Fudo Myoo, carved by Kukai at age 33, recognized as one of Japan's three major Fudo Myoo statues.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a 15-minute bus ride from Wakasa Station, with a small parking area accommodating five vehicles.
The temple structure employs the kakezukuri architectural style, suspended on long pillars within a natural cave formation.
