History
The Kannon Hall of Hirazawaji, enshrined in Hirasawa, Suruga, is an ancient hall that healed eye diseases under the deep compassion of Kannon Bodhisattva, true to its name. Over the centuries I have watched, countless suffering souls regained their sight. The gentle gaze of Kannon shines brilliantly in this harsh mountain land, healing the hearts of visitors. Even now, under Kannon's unchanging protection, those suffering from eye disease come with hope.
