Virtual Hachioji 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #33 Kogon-ji Temple

     It is unknown when and by whom Kogon-ji Temple was founded.  It is also unknown when it was abolished.  The membership of the Hachioji 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #33 was transferred to Baido-ji Temple, but it is unknown whether the 11-faced Ekadasamukha statue was also moved to Baido-ji Temple or not.

     According to the New Chorography on Musashi Province, which was compiled by Mamiya Kotonobu (1777-1841) at the beginning of the 19th century, Baido-ji Temple didn’t have an Avalokitesvara hall.  The precincts, however, has one today.  At the beginning of the modern times, the 2 temples shared the same block number.  Kogon-ji Temple might have been merged to Baido-ji Temple with its .Ekadasamukha statue enshrined in the Avalokitesvara Hall.
