Tokishi Kannon
〒470-2402 愛知県知多郡美浜町時志南平井８６
A Soto Zen Buddhist temple popularly known as Tokishi Kannon. The grounds offer a panoramic view of Mikawa Bay and feature a large stone statue of Kannon.
History
It is said that an eleven-faced Kannon statue once caught in a fisherman's net in Mikawa Bay was enshrined on Sakushima Island. During an epidemic, the Guardian Kannon appeared in the dreams of the island's watchman, indicating that the statue should be moved to this location. Tokiyoshi Tokugawa, the first lord of the Owari Domain, visited the site and ordered the reconstruction of the hall. After a boy was born to a woman who prayed here for a safe delivery, the temple came under the protection of the Owari Tokugawa family.

What visitors say
Located on a high ground overlooking the sea, the grounds have a quiet atmosphere where you can hear the sound of the waves and birds. You must climb a steep staircase to reach the main hall, and parking is available either partway up the slope or near the grounds. Visitors can enjoy the spectacular view of the sea and the sunrise, and Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) are also available.
