Suzutatsu-yama Wakamatsu-ji (Wakamatsu Kannon)
〒994-0021 山形県天童市山元２２０５−１
A Tendai sect temple known as a Kannon (Avalokiteshvara) shrine for matchmaking, praised with the saying 'Izumo in the West, Wakamatsu in the East.' It is designated as the first station of the Saigo Sanjusan Kannon Reijō (33 Kannon Pilgrimage Sites of the Saigo region).
History
It is said that the temple was founded in 708 CE (Wadō 1) when the monk Rōji was guided by the sound of a bell to climb the present-day Suzutatsu-yama and intuitively perceived 33 Kannon statues. Later, it is traditionally recorded that Ennin moved a hall that had been located near the summit of Tachibana-ji to its current location.
