Tsu Kannon Gojuto (Tsu Kannon Five-Story Pagoda)

津市大門31−31

4.5(4)

A special head temple of the Daigo school of Shingon Buddhism, considered one of the Three Great Kannon temples in Japan. It is known as the second most visited temple in Mie Prefecture.

History

It is said that the temple was founded in 709 CE (Wado 2) when a standing statue of Kannon (Avalokiteshvara) was caught in a fisherman's net and enshrined as the principal image. During the Muromachi period, Ashikaga Yoshimasa constructed the three-story pagoda and Eon-in. Later, due to earthquakes, the temple was relocated to its current location in Daimon-machi, Tsu City. The temple also had a close connection with the imperial court, and its abbots traditionally formed an adoption relationship with the Higashibaro-jo family.
