Setagaya Kannon

A sacred place enshrining the compassionate Kannon Bodhisattva. Standing in the Shimoba area of Setagaya, it is a holy site where many visitors come seeking peace of mind. Kannon, as the name 'Kanzeon' suggests, is a Buddha who listens to the suffering voices of all people and extends a helping hand. Even in the busy modern day, visiting here allows one to be enveloped in silence and compassion, experiencing a sense of spiritual purification. The serene atmosphere of the grounds is truly worthy of being called an oasis in the urban landscape.
