One of the three Kannons in Japan

#aprilblooms It is a historic temple that is said to have been founded in 709, and its official name is "Enichizan Kannonji Daiho-in". It has been known since ancient times by the nickname "Kannon-san" by locals. The principal image "Holy Kannon Bodhisattva" is called "Tsu Kannon" and is counted as one of the three Kannons in Japan, along with "Asakusa Kannon" in Tokyo and "Osu Kannon" in Aichi. It is said that there are various benefits such as good luck and business prosperity. In addition, the "Kokufu Amida Nyorai", in which Amaterasu Omikami, the goddess of the sun in Japanese mythology, has become a Buddha, is also enshrined in the precincts. Although it is usually not open to the public, you can see it specially on the 18th of each month and during the New Year's Day.
