Hase-hon-ji, Buddhist temple in Yamatotakada, Japan
The temple complex consists of seven buildings, including the main hall that houses a 9.18-meter-tall wooden statue of Kannon.
The temple experienced multiple transformations, shifting from the Tendai sect to become an independent temple of the Jodo-shu Buddhist tradition.
The temple grounds display thousands of Jizo statues placed by parents to commemorate children, creating a profound memorial space.
Visitors can reach the temple grounds through a network of walking paths that connect different structures and meditation areas.
The temple contains a cave called Benten-Kutsu with devotional objects dedicated to Benzaiten, a goddess associated with water.
