Tama Aqueduct Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage
The Tamagawa Aqueduct was constructed by the Tokugawa Shogunate to supply drinking and fire-fighting water from the Tama River to Edo in 1653. More than half a century later, the Tama Aqueduct Kannon Pilgrimages were organized at the same time. Their organizers must have been very systematic as they organized 100 temples at a time. However, the pilgrimages didn't become popular and little is known of their history. As far as I have virtually visited the Tama Aqueduct Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, I haven’t found any super-popular temple, while most other organizers of such pilgrimages in Edo tried to include such a super-famous temple as Senso-ji Temple.
