Fukuishi Kannon, Buddhist temple in Sasebo, Japan
The Seigan-ji temple complex contains a main prayer hall constructed in 1785 and a sandstone cave formation reaching 4 meters in height.
The temple dates back to 710 when priest Gyoki carved a two-meter-tall statue of the Eleven-faced Kannon, recognized among seven principal Kannon statues in Kyushu.
The temple holds the Shiman-rokusen-nichi Festival from August 8th to 10th, where one prayer carries the spiritual weight of 46,000 days of devotion.
Visitors reach the temple via a 5-minute bus ride from Sasebo Station to the Fukuishi Kannon mae stop, with free admission throughout the year.
The temple grounds include a large sandstone cave that previously housed 500 arhat statues, though only 142 remain in the present collection.
