History

Kanzakiji stands in Kanzaki Honshuku, proclaiming Avalokiteshvara's compassion since ancient times. Its light has illuminated the eastern lands, listening to the cries of the suffering and offering salvation. As Katori's sacred place, the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva's light eternally receives all prayers and wishes.
