Kegon-ji Temple on Mount Tanigumi
〒501-1311 岐阜県揖斐郡揖斐川町谷汲徳積２３
Affectionately known as Mount Tanigumi, this temple has a history of over 1,200 years dedicated to the worship of Kannon (the Bodhisattva of Compassion). It is the final station of the Saikoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and is also renowned as a scenic spot for cherry blossoms and autumn foliage.
History
Tradition holds that the temple was founded in 798 CE (Enryaku 17) by a powerful local lord named Oguchi. In 917 CE (Engi 17), Emperor Daigo bestowed upon it a mountain name and a plaque. In 944 CE (Tenkyo 7), Emperor Suzaku designated it as an Imperial Prayer Temple. As the 33rd and final station of the Saikoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, it is revered as a sacred site for completing one's vows.

What visitors say
The temple grounds are spacious, with the approach path from the Niomon (Lion-Dog Gate) dotted with beautiful autumn leaves and Buddhist statues, offering scenic views in every season. During peak periods such as New Year's, the area becomes extremely crowded, and caution is required when climbing the stone-paved steps, though staff are present to guide visitors. The surrounding area features restaurants and food stalls, making it an ideal environment for strolling and sightseeing.
