Description

The 15th temple of the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, located within the Sennyu-ji temple precincts. Its principal image is a secret Eleven-Faced Kannon Bosatsu, while a substitute image is available for worship; the deity has long been affectionately known as the “Kannon of the Head.” With traditions connected to Kumano faith and Cloistered Emperor Go-Shirakawa, the temple offers a quiet encounter with Kannon’s compassion and prayers for relief from suffering.
