History
Ichiroku Kosodate Jizōson is a Jizō Bosatsu quietly nestled in the lively Isezaki-cho area of Naka Ward, Yokohama, and is affectionately known as the Kannon of child-rearing. This single Jizō Bosatsu watches over the healthy growth of children and is believed to grant the benefits of safe childbirth and matchmaking. This Jizō Bosatsu has long gathered devout faith from the local people. Despite being in the midst of the city's hustle and bustle, it is enveloped in a quiet and warm atmosphere, providing peace to visitors. The goshuin conveys the benevolence of Jizō Bosatsu.
