Kasamori Kannon
〒297-0125 千葉県長生郡長南町笠森３０２
A special head temple (betsugaku daihonzan) of the Tendai sect, enshrining the Eleven-Faced Kannon as its principal deity. It is the 31st station of the Sando 33 Kannon pilgrimage. The Kannon Hall, a designated Important Cultural Property, stands atop a massive rock and is renowned for its unique Yoho-kake-zukuri (four-sided suspended) architectural style, which is found nowhere else in Japan.
History
Legend holds that the temple was founded in 784 CE (Enryaku 3) when Saicho carved an Eleven-Faced Kannon Bodhisattva from a sacred camphor tree and enshrined it. The Kannon Hall was built by imperial decree from Emperor Go-Ichijo and is famous for its unique Yoho-kake-zukuri style. Another tradition states that a princess, after becoming an empress, built the hall to enshrine the Eleven-Faced Kannon associated with her mother.
