Mangetsu-ji Kannon-do
大津市本堅田１丁目１６−１８
Located on the shores of Lake Biwa, this Rinzai sect Otoku-ji school temple is famous for its floating hall that extends out over the lake. It is well known for its Important Cultural Property statue of Seated Kannon (Avalokitesvara) and its scenery, which was selected as one of the Eight Views of Omi.
History
Founded around the Choko era, the temple was established by Eshin Sodo to enshrine an Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) statue rescued from Lake Biwa, with prayers for safety on the lake and the salvation of all beings. Although it fell into disrepair during periods of war, it was later restored by the abbots of Otoku-ji.
