●岩屋寺
奇峰が天を突き、巨岩の中腹に埋め込まれるように堂宇がたたずむ標高700mの山岳霊場である、岩屋寺はむかしから修験者が修行の場であった。
弘仁6年。
そのころ土佐の女性が岩窟に籠り、法華三昧を成就、空中を自在に飛行できる神通力を身につけ、法華仙人と称していたが、ここを訪れた大師の修法に篤く帰依し、全山を献上した。
大師は木造と石造の不動明王像を刻み、木像は本尊として本堂に安置し、また、石像を奥の院の秘仏として岩窟に祀り、全山をご本尊の不動明王として護摩修法をされた。
また一遍上人も鎌倉時代の中期にこの古刹で参籠・修行し、13世紀末ごろまでにはこれらの不動尊像をはじめ、護摩炉壇、仙人堂、49院の岩屋、33の霊窟などがそのまま残っていたと伝わる。
いつの頃からか、四十四番大寶寺の奥の院とされていたが、明治7年に第一世の住職が晋山した。
だが、同31年（1898）に仁王門と虚空蔵堂をのこし諸史料ともども全山を焼失した。
大正9年に本堂より一回り大きい大師堂を再建、その後、昭和２年に本堂、同９年に山門、27年鐘楼を復興、宿坊遍照閣は38年、逼割不動堂・白山権現堂は同53年にそれぞれ建立されている。
大師堂は国指定重要文化財、寺域は国の名勝、県立自然公園の指定地でもある。
●岩屋寺の見どころ
・弘法大師の穴禅定岩峰には弘法大師の名残りが数多く見受けられるが、その1つ、穴禅定と呼ばれる洞窟には、弘法大師自らが掘ったという「独鈷(とっこ)の霊水」と呼ばれる湧き水が湧き出る
・逼割禅定(せりわりぜんじょう)
大師堂奥の細く狭い山道を300m上ると、かつて弘法大師が修行した逼割禅定の入口がみえる
大きな岩の裂け目には施錠された木製の扉があるのであらかじめ寺務所で鍵を借りること
そそり立つ岩の裂け目をくぐり、鎖を頼りに約10mほど岩山を上り、さらに21段のはしごを上がれば、岩の頂上にまつられた白山権現にたどり着く
かつてここで命を落とした方もおり危険な場所だが、臨める絶景は忘れられない

Iwaya-jiTemple, a sacred mountain site at an altitude of 700m, with a strange peak reaching up to the sky and a hall nestled in the middle of a gigantic rock, has long been a place for ascetic ascetics.
Hirohito 6th year.
At that time, a woman from Tosa holed up in a rock cave, achieved Lotus Samadhi, acquired the supernatural power of being able to fly freely in the air, and was called the Lotus Sage.

Daishi carved wooden and stone statues of Fudo Myoo, enshrined the wooden statue in the main hall as the principal image, enshrined the stone statue in a rock cave as a secret Buddha in the inner temple, and performed Goma rituals on the entire mountain as the principal image of Fudo Myoo.
Also, Ippen Shonin prayed and practiced at this ancient temple in the middle of the Kamakura period, and by the end of the 13th century, these Fudoson statues, the Goma hearth, the Sennin-do, the 49-in caves, and 33 sacred caves, etc. It is said that it remained as it was.
For some time, it was considered the inner temple of the 44th Daihoji Temple, but in 1888, the first chief priest moved to Shinzan.
However, in 1898, the entire mountain was destroyed by fire, leaving behind the Niomon Gate and Kokuzodo Hall, along with other historical materials.
The Daishi-do hall, which is one size larger than the main hall, was rebuilt in 1919, followed by the main hall in 1920, the Sanmon gate in 1927, and the bell tower in 1927.Shukubo Henshokaku was rebuilt in 1938, and Tawari Fudo-do and Hakusan Gongendo were the same. Each was erected in 1953.
Daishido is a nationally designated important cultural property, and the temple area is a national scenic spot and a designated prefectural natural park.
●Point to watch around
・Kobo Daishi's Anazenjo Many remnants of Kobo Daishi's work can be seen on the rocky peak, one of which is a cave called Anazenjo, which is said to have been dug by Kobo Daishi himself and is said to be filled with the sacred water of Tokko. spring water gushes out
・Seriwari Zenjo
If you go up 300 meters up the narrow mountain path behind the Daishi-do Hall, you will see the entrance to the Tawari Meditation where Kobo Daishi once practiced.
There is a locked wooden door in the crevice of the large rock, so please borrow the key from the temple office in advance.
Pass through the crack in the towering rock, climb up the rocky mountain for about 10m using a chain, and then climb the 21-step ladder to reach Hakusan Gongen, which is enshrined at the top of the rock.
It is a dangerous place as some people have lost their lives here, but the spectacular view is unforgettable.
