Matsuo Kannon-ji Temple
〒516-0014 三重県伊勢市楠部町１５６−６
Regarded as "Japan's oldest Kannon temple for warding off misfortune," this temple is beloved by residents of Ise City and its surrounding areas as a place to pray for protection against bad luck. It is a unique prayer temple that does not belong to any established Buddhist sect.
History
The temple is said to have been founded by Gyoki in 712 CE (Wado 4). Legend holds that Gyoki, while visiting Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine) for worship, carved an eleven-faced Kannon statue himself and enshrined it as the main object of worship. Subsequently, the temple received patronage from the Kitabatake clan, who served as governors of Ise Province, and the Kigami clan, a branch of the Kitabatake family.

Many visitors come to see the "Tokoro Ryujin" (Dragon God of the Floor) located inside the main hall. Since the hall closes around 4:00 PM, it is necessary to confirm the visiting hours in advance. Parking is available at nearby facilities, and Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are issued separately from those at the adjacent shrine.
