Virtual Tama Aqueduct Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #11 Kakugan-ji Temple

 

     Kakugan-ji Temple was founded at the bottom of a cliff in Kami-Noge Village, Ebara County, Musashi Province.  Sometime, the temple was moved to the top of the cliff.  Kami means upper, and Noge meant a cliff in the old local dialect.  The oldest grave dates back to 1543.

     The temple’s precincts have Kannon-do Hall, which enshrines the statue of Arya Avalokitesvara, who is the human-figure prototype of the other 6 metamorphoses.
