Adachi Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage
Adachi Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized in 1760 by Priest Joten of the Adachi Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #1 Chisoku-in Temple. The pilgrimage made 100 with the Shinobu Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and the Shinobu Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage.
In the Jomon Period, the Omiya Plateau used to be a peninsula which stuck out into the sea. The Old Watarase River ran along the eastern side of the peninsula, and the Old Tone and Ara Rivers ran along the western side of the peninsula. In the meanwhile, the ongoing process of the Kanto Plain's tectonic extension continued and the plain's central region gradually sank. Finally, about 4,000 years ago, the Old Tone and Ara Rivers broke the northern part of the peninsula around today's Kazo City to the east. The plateau became a triangular island in the Old Tokyo Bay, and people, of course, lived on the island. In the east of the island, the Kanto Plain kept sanking, and the Old Tone and Old Ara Rivers kept flooding. Gradually, through the ancient and medieval times, the rivers and their alluvium made the peninsula a triangle plateau in the Kanto Plain. In ancient times, Adachi County was organized under Musashi Province around the plateau. It means, when Buddhism was introduced to the area, people lived on an old peninsula surrounded by the Old Tokyo Bay. The Adachi Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized at the end of the medieval times. Accordingly, most of the member temples of the pilgrimage are located on the plateau.
