Date of Visit: August 9, 2026 (Sunday)
Means of Transportation: Motorcycle
Purpose: Pilgrimage to the Bando Thirty-Three Kannon Temples
Bando Thirty-Three Kannon Temple, Temple No. 12
It felt like the temple suddenly appeared while I was driving through a residential area.
I was able to park my motorcycle in a spot that wouldn't obstruct cars, as there was space for several motorcycles in the parking area next to the front of Jionji Temple.
There is also parking space for several motorcycles across the road, and even though it was a Sunday, I think there was plenty of space for cars and motorcycles.
Was there a festival yesterday or today? Stalls were being set up on the temple grounds.
I received my goshuin (temple stamp) directly at the temple office next to the grounds.
There weren't many visitors, but there was a wait of about 3 people for the goshuin, and it took about 5 minutes to get it.
