Next stop: Journey into a Showa Retro Alley and a Classic Car HallAbout this spot
A venerable temple with over thirteen hundred years of history as the sixteenth station of the Bandō Thirty-Three Kannon pilgrimage. The vermillion-painted main hall and the unusual hexagonal hall where you rotate the base to make wishes are highlights—children can enjoy making prayers here. It's just a short walk from the Mizusawa udon street, making it perfect for a post-lunch stroll.
Tips
The rotating hexagonal hall is a big hit with children. The main hall is close to the parking lot, and there is a route that avoids stone steps, so three generations can visit without difficulty.
Best time to visit
Approximately 40 minutes. The temple grounds are relatively quiet in the afternoon.
