Description

On the slope behind Muryoji Temple stand 33 stone images associated with the Saigoku Thirty-three Kannon pilgrimage, arranged in tiers and still cared for through local offerings and prayers. They originally stood beside the old road connecting Kutama Hon-go and Nakanoura, where travelers and local residents stopped to worship. Road widening in the Showa period led to their relocation to the temple. Each stone depicts a different manifestation of Kannon, with weathered surfaces and moss reflecting the passage of time. The collection is designated a Tangible Cultural Property (sculpture) of Amakusa City. The images are outdoors, but visitors should confirm when the rear grounds can be entered.
