History
Kannon-in, enshrined in Gose's sacred precincts, is the temple devoted to Kannon Bodhisattva who has protected these grounds for over a thousand years. Since ancient times, women wishing to become mothers have journeyed here to place their prayers before the Bodhisattva. The gentle light the white fox has always witnessed here never wavers.
