Virtual Kozukue 33 Kannon Pilgrimage in Yokohama #33 Hosho-ji Temple

     It is unknown when Hosho-ji Temple was founded.  The temple belongs to the Caodong Sect of Chan Buddhism.

     The temple yard has a stone monument which lists the 33 member temples of Kozukue 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.  It was Priest Soun and Priest Choan in Hosho-ji Temple, #33 temple of Kozukue 33 Kannon Pilgrimage today, and  Priest Tenyo in Senkoku-ji Temple, #1 temple today, who organized Kozukue 33 Kannon Pilgrimage in 1732. 

     The statue of Ekadasamukha, who has 11 faces, is located in the cemetery nearby.

     So, I have virtually walked up Kozukue 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, the 4th Kannon pilgrimage ever in my life, including actually going on Fukuhara 33 Kannon Pilgrimage in Kobe.
