History
Mizozi is an ancient temple located near the sea, where the sea breeze is pleasant. The principal image, Eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva, is said to transform into various forms to save sentient beings from suffering. It is particularly known for its benefits for safe childbirth, and many women visit. A quiet time flows within the precincts, gently enveloping the hearts of visitors. It would also be good to offer a silent prayer while listening to the sound of the waves.
