Virtual Upper Tada Manor 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #33 Kannon-ji Temple

 

     Takamimusubi Shrine was founded in 952 in Tahara Village by Tahara Hidetsugu, who was one of the 4 major vassals of Minamoto Mitsunaka (912-997).

     The shrine's main hall was rebuilt on September 26th, 1683.

     It is unknown whether Kannon-ji Temple was founded as its shrine temple before the reconstruction or after, but it is highly probable that the temple was abolished after the Meiji Restoration Government issued the Gods and Buddhas Separation Order in 1868.

     God Takamimusubi is so important that he is enshrined even at the Three Palace Sanctuaries in the precincts of the Tokyo Imperial Palace.
