DescriptionKaigenji's Kannon Hall in Hakata houses images representing the Thirty-Three Kannon of the Saigoku Pilgrimage. Temple tradition says Yasaji, a resident of Nakagofukumachi devoted to Kannon, proposed enshrining copies of the images from all thirty-three pilgrimage temples so that people unable to travel the distant route could worship them in one place. Kannon Hall and the adjacent Enma Hall were rebuilt in 2016. Visitors can pray before all thirty-three images and learn about the history of Kannon devotion and pilgrimage. The hall is ordinarily open to visitors.
