Iwou-ji Temple (Koyasan Shingon Sect)
日本、〒830-0014 福岡県久留米市寺町
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect located in Teramachi, Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture. Its mountain name is Rurikozan (Mountain of Lapis Lazuli Light). The principal enshrined deity is Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha), and it serves as the 16th station of the Chikugo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage Sites.
History
In 1621 CE (Genwa 7), the temple was founded when the land was granted by Toyosuke Arima, the lord of the Kurume Domain, serving as a prayer temple for the Arima clan. During the Meiji Era, following the Order for the Separation of Buddhism and Shinto, the temple inherited images of Nyojo Kannon (Kannon of the Wheel of Law) and agricultural deities from Entsuu-ji Temple, subsequently becoming the 16th station of the Chikugo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage Sites.
