DescriptionOn a hill in Shirahayuki Park on Iki Island stands a Kannon Bodhisattva carved from natural stone, approximately nine meters tall. Locally known as Morotsu Kannon, the image is revered as a focus of prayers for safety at sea and people's well-being. Several smaller stone Buddhist images are arranged around it, while the park also features an extensive dry-stacked stone wall built over many years. The green hill overlooks the Genkai Sea and is known as a cherry-blossom viewing spot in spring. The local tourism association lists the park as a visitor attraction, making this an appealing place to experience both the Kannon image and its coastal landscape.
