観菩提寺, Buddhist temple in Iga, Japan.

Kanbodai-ji is a temple in Iga featuring a main hall and a multi-story gate that show traditional architectural design from the Muromachi period. The wooden structures display the craftsmanship and style typical of Buddhist religious buildings from that era.

According to a mid-Edo-period temple chronicle, Kanbodai-ji was founded during the Tenpyo era (729–749) by Jicchu and revived in the Heian period; the exact founding date is unknown. In medieval times the temple had close ties with a warrior group known as the Shimagahara-to. Its main hall and tower gate are designated Important Cultural Properties.

The Shushoe rite, held on 11 and 12 February and called the festival that brings spring to Shimagahara, has a history of about 1,300 years. On the first day the toya, head of one of seven kō groups, walks from his home to the main hall carrying a daishō rice cake of 6 to 9 kg and an onigashira, a demon face made of palm fibre and mandarin oranges. In 2018 a woman served as toya for the first time.

The Shushoe rite on 11–12 February draws crowds to the main hall, so plan around those dates if you want a quiet visit. The temple stands in the Shimagahara district of Iga, and the main hall and romon gate are both designated Important Cultural Properties.

The principal statue is an eleven-faced Kannon figure with six arms that is displayed to the public only once every 33 years. This rare viewing cycle makes it a special attraction for those who happen to visit during an opening year.
