Shionoura Kannon-ji (Shionoura Kannon Temple)
青梅市塩船１９４
A special head temple (betsugaku honzan) of the Daigo school of Shingon Buddhism located in Ome City, Tokyo. It is the 72nd station of the Kanto 88 Pilgrimage Sites and houses numerous buildings and Buddhist statues designated as Important Cultural Properties.
History
According to legend, the temple's origins date back to the Taika era (645-650 CE), when Yaoshihime (a female ascetic) from Wakasa Province enshrined a statue of Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon). During the Tenpyo era, the monk Eki visited and named the site Shionoura (Salt Boat) because the surrounding terrain resembled the shape of a boat, likening it to the 'Vessel of the Great Vow.' The temple flourished under the patronage of the Kaneko clan during the Kamakura period and the Mita clan during the Muromachi period.
