Kanno-ji, Buddhist temple in Mannō, Japan

The temple complex features traditional architecture with multiple ceremonial halls and meditation spaces located at coordinates 34.163833 latitude and 133.864417 longitude.

The temple holds significant historical importance dating back to 1194 when it was established as the first Rinzai Zen sect temple in Japan.

The temple houses a collection of Buddhist statues, including a notable Kannon figure with 11 faces and 1,000 arms created in 1445.

Visitors can access Kanno-ji temple daily between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with the address at Kanno, Manno-cho, Nakatado-gun in Kagawa Prefecture.
