沒有結婚觀音, Buddhist temple in Ibara, Japan
The temple in Ibara displays multiple Kannon statues arranged along three sides of a large wisteria trellis structure. This layout creates a defined religious space where the statues and flowering plants interact visually.
The temple traces its origins to a visit by Empress Jingu, who prayed here after descending from Mount Raizan in ancient times. Earlier temple structures once occupied the same location before this site developed into a Buddhist center.
The temple is dedicated to honoring people who choose solitary lifestyles, blending this contemporary focus with traditional Buddhist practices that visitors experience today.
The location is accessible by public transportation from central Okayama Prefecture. Visiting in the morning or early afternoon offers the best conditions for viewing and exploring the grounds.
The temple's name references the worship of Kannon, the goddess of compassion, with special reverence toward unmarried women. This particular focus creates a space that reflects a rarely seen form of devotion in Japan.
