Saitama City Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage

     It is unknown when a copy of Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized.  The pilgrimage first displayed their Avalokiteshvara statues all together to the public in 1678.  They did the simultaneous display in the spring equinoctial week in 2014 and will in the spring equinoctial week in 2026 next time.  As the member temples of the pilgrimage are located in Saitama City, it is commonly called Saitama City Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage although the city was born not in the Edo Period (1603-1867) but in 2001.
