DescriptionNomiyama Kannonji is Temple No. 16 of the Sasaguri Shikoku 88-Temple Pilgrimage and belongs to the Koyasan Shingon tradition. Affectionately known as 'Nomiyama-san,' it enshrines the hidden Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Kannon as its principal image. The statue cannot normally be viewed directly, but visitors may enter the inner sanctuary during the autumn unveiling service. In 2026, interior viewing was offered after the October 18 ceremony until 2 p.m. Daily goma prayers remain central to the temple, whose extensive grounds also contain numerous memorial Jizo statues for children.
