Virtual Hachinohe Castle Town 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #28 Seisui-ji Temple

 

     Hachinohe Castle Town 33 Kannon Pilgrimage has lost its #25-#27 member temples.

     We have 16 Kiyomizu-dera Temples and 21 Seisui-ji Temples with the same Chinese characters across Japan.  They are all supposed to have copied Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, which was founded in 788.

     Tradition says that Seisui-ji Temple was founded by Ennin (794-864), but it is doubtful that he visited the Hachinohe area about a millennium before the organization of Nukanobu County in Mutsu Province.
