Yatsutsu Dai Kannon Bosatsu

北区滝野川4丁目24

3.9(94)

A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism, affectionately known by its alternate name, Yatsutsu Kannon. The grounds feature the Yatsutsu Dai Kannon (a large statue of Kannon), an outdoor Buddha statue erected in 2008.

History

It is said to have been founded in the early Kamakura period when a visiting warrior enshrined the principal image of Kannon Bosatsu (Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion). Detailed origins are unknown because historical documents were lost during a dispute with the local lord in the Edo period. In the late Edo period, it became the memorial temple for the Shinpuku-tai (New Selection Corps) and Kondo Isami, and it currently manages and performs memorial services for Kondo Isami's grave.

What visitors say

Located in a residential area along the Ishikamigawa River, this is a quiet spot suitable for a short stop during a walk or stroll. A large, imposing bronze statue of Kannon stands in the open, with no roof or surrounding buildings, so visitors should be mindful of the weather when praying. Nearby parks and cherry trees make it a perfect place to drop by for a moment of calm in daily life.
