History
The place I visited is Ukima-Kannon-dō, located in Tone-machi Oizoi, Numata City. This Kannon hall is said to bring blessings for safe childbirth and family safety, and is particularly revered by women. This place, with its quiet and mystical atmosphere, bestows peace and strength upon visitors. The Kannon, who has received people's wishes in this land since ancient times, is still worshipped by many pilgrims. Offering a quiet prayer in this serene space is a pleasant experience.
