Nyoirinji is an ancient temple with Nyoirin Kannon as its principal deity, fulfilling the wishes of people's hearts as its name suggests.

For a long time, it has gathered the faith of people in the Ogori area, and has been cherished particularly as a Kannon who attends to the wishes of women. When prayers are offered with sincerity in the quiet precincts, the compassionate Kannon will surely watch over you.
