16th Pilgrimage Site Kannonji
日本、〒779-3123 徳島県徳島市国府町観音寺４９−２
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, serving as the 16th site of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage and the 32nd site of the Awa Nishi-koku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage. The principal image is Senju Kannon (the Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara).
History
It is said to have been established by Hiko as an imperial prayer site by order of Emperor Shomu. In 816 CE (Karon 7), Kukai visited the temple, installed the principal image of Senju Kannon along with Fudo Myo-o (Fudo Myo-o, the Immovable Wisdom King) and Bishamonten (Bishamonten, the Guardian of the North), and changed the temple's name to its current one. The temple was destroyed by fire during the military campaigns of Chosokabe Motochika, but was rebuilt in 1659 CE (Manji 2) by the monk Yuo with the support of Hachisuka Mitsutaka.

What visitors say
A small, serene temple that blends into the surrounding residential neighborhood. The grounds are flat and well-maintained, and the parking lot is spacious and easy to use. The Yakei Jizo (Jizo statue associated with soothing crying) is said to be effective not only for children's night cries but also for insomnia.
