Senju Kannon-do (Thousand-Armed Kannon Hall)

銚子市野尻町265

An independent temple of the Shingon school, also known as Iwanuma Kannon, it is the 27th station of the Banto Sanjusan Kannon (33 Kannon Pilgrimage of the Kanto region).

History

Legend holds that in 724 CE (Shinmi 1), fishermen hauled up an Eleven-Faced Kannon Bodhisattva statue in their nets. It is said that Kukai consecrated the statue during the Koun era (810-824 CE). The temple flourished from the Kamakura period onward under the patronage of the Kaimura clan. In 1591 CE (Tensho 19), Tokugawa Ieyasu granted it a vermilion seal (shuin). Although many halls were destroyed by air raids in 1945 CE (Shōwa 20), a five-story pagoda was erected in 2009.
