History

Known as the Hacchou Kannon temple, this sacred site is where the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva's compassionate vow manifests. Since its founding, prayers from those suffering eye ailments have never ceased. I myself have visited many times and felt the Bodhisattva's compassion within those solemn halls.
