Virtual Miura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #5 Kaio-ji Temple

      The area used to be called Aonori, literally Green Laver.  Long time ago, an Arya Avalokitesvara statue was washed ashore.  People built a small cabin to enshrine the statue and to pray for the marine safety.  The statue has been moved to Kaio-ji Temple, which has 2 other Avalokitesvara statues.  It is unknown why and how the two have been accumulated in the temple.
