Description

Reigenin, an Obaku Zen temple, is a historic Kannon pilgrimage site known as Taki no Kannon, or Waterfall Kannon. The monk Tetsugan established a meditation hall in 1660; in 1667, the Chinese merchant Xu Dengshou donated the main hall and its principal Gyoran Kannon image. Chinese-style Buddhist stone figures are scattered across the grounds, with a waterfall about 30 meters high behind them. The site was damaged in the 1982 Nagasaki flood and restored in 1987. The landscape as a whole is a Nagasaki Prefectural Place of Scenic Beauty, and visitors can normally enter on payment of an admission fee.
