Daifukuji Gafuku-in-do (Cliffside Kannon Hall)
〒294-0056 千葉県館山市船形８３５
Located on Mount Funagata, this Shingon Chisan-ha sect temple is known as the 'Cliffside Kannon' due to its position on the steep mid-slope of the mountain. Within the precincts stands a cantilevered Kannon Hall, featuring an eleven-faced Kannon Bosatsu (Avalokiteshvara) carved directly into the cliff face as a rock-cut Buddha.
History
It is said that the temple originated in 717 CE when the monk Giki carved a Kannon statue to pray for the safety and abundant catches of local fishermen. Later, Ennin, a monk of the Tendai sect, is believed to have built the Kannon Hall and established the temple. During the Edo period, the temple received a vermilion seal letter (shuinjo) from the Tokugawa Shogunate.

What visitors say
The vermilion-painted Kannon Hall, clinging to the sheer cliffs of Mount Funagata, presents a mystical landscape alongside the rock-cut Buddha carved into the rock face. Visitors can ascend to the hall via a staircase with handrails. From the platform, one can enjoy stunning views of Tateyama Bay and Oshima Island in the Izu Islands, and on clear days, even Mount Fuji. The interior features beautiful ceiling paintings, and several dango (rice dumpling) shops are scattered in the surrounding area.
