Description

Yokokuji’s Main Hall enshrines an Eleven-Faced Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Kannon Bosatsu as its principal image. Affectionately known as Yanagidani Kannon, the temple has long been closely associated with prayers for healing eye diseases. The quiet Main Hall in its mountain setting offers an atmosphere distinct from the bright impressions of flower basins and hydrangeas, bringing visitors closer to the core of Kannon devotion. The image of Kannon, watching over people with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, conveys gentleness together with a deep, all-seeing gaze.
