Kannon-ji

Kannon-ji temple complex contains multiple halls and gates arranged around a central courtyard featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and stone lanterns.

The temple's founding dates to 628 when local fishermen discovered a statue of Avalokitesvara in the Sumida River, leading to the establishment of this religious site.

The temple dedicates spaces for meditation practices and hosts regular ceremonies where visitors can participate in traditional Buddhist rituals throughout the year.

The temple maintains regular visiting hours from sunrise to sunset, with additional meditation sessions scheduled during morning hours for interested participants.

The temple houses an ancient statue of Avalokitesvara that remains permanently hidden, stored in a specially designed miniature temple secured by multiple locks.
