Oya Temple is located about 5 miles outside Utsunomiya. It is said to have been founded by Kobodaishi in 810. Inside there are 10 merciful images carved in the rock face. We were not allowed to take photos inside.

How cool! The history and the architecture are just amazing. Keep the pictures and updates coming...I love it.
We enjoyed that place too. There is another hidden shrine that we found the day we went there. I'd have to ask Bill where it was, but it was up in the mountains and was beautiful.
Looks like you are getting out and about!
Miss you lots!
