History
This temple, devoted to Kannon Bodhisattva's boundless compassion, has stood in Kimitsu since ancient times. Those suffering from ailments and clouded hearts have come here seeking Kannon's gentle light. Through the long ages I have observed, countless tears have been wiped away in this sacred space. The immeasurable gratitude of all who have found solace here fills this temple even now.
