Kegon-ji, Buddhist temple in Ibigawa, Japan

Kegon-ji Temple stands at an elevation with multiple halls, traditional architecture, stone lanterns, and ancient trees spread across its grounds.

Founded in 798, Emperor Daigo granted the temple its official name, establishing it as the final station of the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage route.

The temple offers three distinct types of goshuin stamps, representing the present, past, and future lives according to Buddhist tradition.

Visitors can access the temple via a 25-minute bus ride from Ibi Station on the Yoro Railway, with ample parking available for drivers.

The temple features a bronze carp statue that pilgrims touch upon completing their spiritual journey as a ritual of purification.
