Iiyama Kannon, Buddhist pilgrimage temple in Atsugi, Japan.

The Chokoku-ji temple contains a bronze figure of Juichimen Kannon Bosatsu within its main hall, which dates from the Edo period.

The temple emerged between 725 and 835 AD, with historical records connecting it to Buddhist figures Gyoki or Kukai as potential founders.

This religious site represents the sixth station of the Bando Sanjusankasho, a pilgrimage circuit consisting of 33 temples across the Kanto region.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds by taking a bus from Hon Atsugi Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line to the designated stop.

The temple grounds extend into Iiyama Hakusan Shinrin Park, where an observatory offers views of Yokohama and Shinjuku from Mount Haku.
