What other travelers are saying about Ryozen Kannon Temple
In my opinion it is totally worth the visit! The huge Buddha was erected to commemorate the fallen people after WWII. You get an incense stick at the entrance. You can also get a Goshuin stamp here. Don’t forget to make a wish on the wish ball and have a stroll through the beautiful gardens!
An incredible temple—spiritual and beautiful. I was deeply moved, reflecting on the admirable values of respect, hard work, and mindful living that seem so inherent in Japanese culture. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to visit this special place.
Way Cool mystic experience...
You can go inside the back of this thing.... there was NOBODY there both times we went. This is actually a memorial for the unknown soldier of WW II.
Impressive 24-meter statue of the Bodhisattva Kannon, a symbol of peace and compassion. Apparently, it is not so old and was actually built in 1955 to honor WWII victims. This is a nice temple with a tranquil atmosphere and historical significance. Not very crowded.
On this Saturday, the temple of Ryozen Kannon is unfortunately closed for tourists. However, through keyholes and wall gaps, we were still able to admire the graceful statue of the Kannon.
Built in 1955, the Kannon measures 80 feet tall. Truly impressive!
