Kannon'in, Buddhist temple in Sakai, Japan.

Kannon'in is a Buddhist temple in Sakai with multiple structures arranged in traditional Japanese architectural style. The grounds include a main prayer hall, facilities for cremated remains storage, and burial areas.

The temple has long served as an important station on the Izumi Saigoku Pilgrimage Route, which connects Buddhist temples throughout the region. This role has remained central to its purpose across generations.

This temple serves as an active pilgrimage stop where visitors come to participate in Buddhist rituals and connect with local religious practice. The community here maintains traditions through regular ceremonies that mark important moments throughout the year.

The temple grounds are about a 12-minute walk from JGSDF Mae station and offer parking for visitors. The site is easy to explore on foot and has helpful information available on location.

The grounds offer three distinct burial options including placement in Rennyo Hall, columbarium storage, or traditional cemetery burial. These choices reflect how the temple adapts to different preferences and beliefs.
