観菩提寺, Buddhist temple in Iga, Japan.

The Kanbodai-ji Temple features a main hall and a multi-story entrance gate that exemplify traditional Japanese religious architecture from the Muromachi period.

Founded in 751 by Jicchu from Todaiji Temple in Nara, Kanbodai-ji Temple stands as one of the earliest Buddhist establishments in the Iga region.

The temple holds the annual Shushoe ceremony every February 11th and 12th, where representatives carry large rice cakes and ritual offerings in procession.

Located at 1349 Shimogahara, Iga City, the temple provides free admission and maintains a parking area for visitors throughout the year.

The principal statue, an eleven-faced Kannon measuring 177 centimeters tall with six arms, opens for public viewing only once every 33 years.
