History

Byakko

I shall speak of Kannon-ji, a tranquil temple nestled in the mountains of Atsugi. For a long time, this temple has enshrined Kannon Bodhisattva as its principal image, listening to the prayers of people. It is particularly known for its benefits of safe childbirth, fertility, and recovery from illness, attracting many worshippers. The temple grounds are rich in greenery, allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful nature of each season. It is a good place to quietly offer prayers while becoming one with nature.
