Virtual Sayama 33 Kannon Pilgrimag #26 Yamagiwa-Kannon-do Temple

      Murayama Yorito's 5th son, Iehira, came to live in Kaneko Village, and started the Kaneko Family of the Murayama Corps.  It means the Murayama Corps was busy developing mountain villages in Sayama Hills while the Yokoyama Corps was expanding their power south to Sagami Province.  Yamagiwa literally means the edge of mountains.  As the temple's eleven-faced Ekadasamukha statue was commonly known as West Kannon, Miyadera Village was the western frontier for the Murayama Corps.
