#71 Iyadani-ji
●About this temple
This temple is located on Mt.Iyadani-san, which has long been known as the ``Mountain of Buddha'' and has attracted folk worship since ancient times.It is said to be one of the most difficult of the 88 temples due to its steep stone steps.
Long ago, Gyoki could see eight countries in the Shikoku and Chugoku regions from this mountain, so he enshrined Amida Nyorai on the eastern peak and Shakyamuni Nyorai on the western peak, and named it Mt. Renge Hakkokuji Temple.
Later, when Kobo Daishi was 7 years old, he studied at Shishi-no-Iwaya in the Okunoin Temple and did penance on this mountain.In the second year of Daido (807), when he climbed the mountain again and practiced the secret method of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, he discovered five books. It is said that a sword fell and he heard a message from Kongo Zao Gongen.
It is said that the name of the mountain was changed to Kengozan, and because there were many valleys in the area, the name of the temple was also changed to Yaya-dera.
At this time, Daishi carved a thousand-armed Kannon and enshrined it, and rebuilt the temple.
It was destroyed by military fire during the Sengoku period, but was rebuilt in 1600.
●Point to watch around
・Shishi-no-Iwaya - A rock cave that looks like a lion has opened its mouth, located at the back of Daishi-do Hall.
The name comes from the fact that the lion's howl is thought to be the same as the Buddha's sermon.
Inside, the Daishi-do Hall, a statue of Amitabha Tathagata (father), and a statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva (mother) are enshrined.
Surrounding the Manchara Dan and Goma Dan on three sides, the seated statues of Amida Nyorai, Dainichi Nyorai, and Jizo Bodhisattva are symmetrically carved into the rock wall.
・Amida Sanzon Mokabebutsu - Located at the top of the stone steps leading from the precincts of Daishi-do Hall to the main hall, there is a statue of the Amida Sanzon with a height of approximately 1 meter carved.
It is said that if you pray to the Mida Sanzon, you will be promised paradise in the future.
・Haiku Chaya - A teahouse in front of the Sanmon gate with a history of over 100 years
The name comes from the strips of haiku poems that were left hanging in the store by pilgrims who stopped by.
・Fureai Park Minor - Centered around the ``Natural Iyadani Onsen Daishi-no-Yu'', there is a heated pool, restaurant, and accommodation facilities, and is used by a wide range of people from the general public to pilgrims.

第71番札所 弥谷寺
●寺の歴史/縁起
「仏の山」として昔から民間信仰を集めている弥谷山にある寺で、急勾配の石段が険しく、八十八ヶ所でも有数の難所であるといわれる
その昔、行基がこの山から四国、中国地方の8国が眺望できたことから、東の峰に阿弥陀如来、西の峰に釈迦如来を安置し、蓮華山八国寺と名付けたのが始まり
後に弘法大師が7歳の時に奥の院、「獅子の岩屋」で学問に励み、この山で苦行した大同2年(807)、再び登山して真言密教の秘法を修行していると、5本の剣が降ってきて、金剛蔵王権現のお告げを聞いたという
そこで山号を剣五山に替え、その辺り一帯に谷が多いことから寺名も弥谷寺に改めたと伝わっている
この時大師は千手観音を刻んで安置し、伽藍を再興した
戦国時代に兵火で焼失したが、慶長5年(1600)に再興された
●見どころ
・獅子の岩屋ー大師堂の奥にある獅子が口を開いたかのような岩窟
獅子の遠吠えは仏の説法と同じと考えられることから、名付けられた
中には大師堂と阿弥陀如来像(父君)、弥勒菩薩像(母君)が安置される
曼茶羅壇や護摩壇を三方に囲んで、岩壁に阿弥陀如来座像と大日如来座像、地蔵菩薩像を左右対称に刻まれている
・弥陀三尊磨壁仏ー大師堂のある境内から本堂へ向う石段を登りきった所にある、像高約1mにもなる阿弥陀三尊が刻まれている
弥陀三尊に念仏を捧げると未来に極楽住生が約束されると言われる
・俳句茶屋ー100年以上の歴史がある、山門前の茶屋
名前の由来は、立ち寄ったお遍路さんが残した店内にびっしり下がった俳句の短冊から
・ふれあいパークみのー「天然いやだに温泉大師の湯」を中心に、温水プール、レストラン、宿泊施設があり、一般客からお遍路さんまで幅広く利用されている
