Oya-ji (Oya Kannon 大谷観音 ) Temple, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan
坂東巡礼 第１９番 大谷寺 大谷観音
Oya-ji Temple is located an hour bus ride from JR Utsunomiya Station in Tochigi Prefecture. This temple is located among mountainous surroundings and when I went to the temple, I saw a lot of quarrying done on the mountains around this temple.
The main worshipped deity of this temple, Oya Kannon is carved right onto the rock inside the temple Hondo. It is a large Kannon statue and extremely awe inspiring. Hope you get a chance to go there and see the statue. Unfortunately, since no photographs are allowed inside, I could not put that inside this montage. Enjoy!

Ōya-ji Temple ( 大谷寺 )
Description
————————————————————————
The 4m-high Thousand-Armed Kannon carved into the rock is enshrined as the main object of worship and it along with 9 other Buddha figures carved into the rock face have been nationally designated both as Special Historic Sites and Important Cultural Properties. It’s been said that the Kannon was created by the Buddhist monk Kobo-Daishi but according to recent research, it shares many points in common with the stone Buddhas of Bamiyan so it is now thought that it may have actually been built by Afghan monks.
