長谷觀音, Buddhist temple in Koga, Japan.

The Hase Kannon temple features a wooden statue of the Eleven-faced Kannon measuring 2 meters in height with crystal eyes and joined wood construction.

The temple originated in 1493 when Ashikaga Shigeuji relocated an Eleven-faced Kannon statue from Kamakura and established a hall to protect Koga Castle.

The temple holds the annual Forty-Eight Thousand Days Festival on August 19th, where visitors receive blessings equivalent to 48,000 days of worship.

The temple stands at 5-1 Hase-cho in Koga City, requiring a 15-minute walk from JR Koga Station or 20 minutes from Shin-Koga Station.

Local farmers sell grilled corn near the temple during harvest season, leading to its nickname 'Corn Kannon' among regular visitors.
