Kannonkyō-ji, Buddhist temple in Shibayama, Japan
The Kannonkyō-ji temple stands on a forested hill, featuring traditional wooden structures and gardens that create a meditative environment for visitors.
Founded in 781, this religious complex gained particular importance during the Edo period when firefighters sought blessings for protection against disasters.
The temple houses the Eleven-headed Kanzeon Bodhisattva as its main object of worship, reflecting deep-rooted Buddhist traditions in Japanese society.
Located 15 minutes from Narita Airport by taxi, the temple grounds include the Shibayama Haniwa Museum and parking facilities for over 100 vehicles.
The temple preserves a monument of the Shinmon Tatsugoro's O-gumi, marking the historical connection between firefighting groups and religious practices.
