Kuwamiji Temple in Omihachiman City is a historic temple known as the 46th temple of the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage. This area, founded by Emperor Tenji's imperial decree, is a mysterious space where the beliefs of the Kasa-yama giant rock and Yakushi Nyorai intersect. The natural surroundings of the temple grounds, reached by climbing 650 stone steps, are rich and lush. The main hall, designated as an important cultural property, houses a secret Buddha statue called "Kama Yakushi" which quietly presides over the temple.
