会津坂下町塔寺 大門1468−3

3.7(6)

A temple of the Shugendo Toyosha school located in Fukushima Prefecture, with the mountain name Kintozan. Also known as Tachiki Kannon, it houses a wooden statue of Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon) standing figure, which is one of the largest Buddhist statues in Japan.

History

According to tradition, in 540 CE (Kei 1), a monk from Liang named Seigan established a hermitage. Later, in 634 CE (Sho 6), a monk named Eiryou named the temple Eiryouji. There is also a tradition that in 808 CE (Doto 3), Sakanoue no Tamamaru founded the temple following the will of Kukai. At one point, it was a large complex with 36 halls, but currently only the Niomon (Lion Gate), the main hall, and the Kannon Hall remain.
