History

Founded in 1897 to commemorate the spirits of samurai who died during Japan's turbulent late Edo period, Ryozen Kannon stands as a testament to their sacrifice. The 24-meter-tall Kannon statue overlooks the city of Kyoto, serving as a spiritual beacon for countless pilgrims seeking fulfillment of their wishes and prayers throughout the decades.
