I went there for the first time on a tour of Bando Kannon Sacred Ground. First of all, I was worried about the vermilion gate.

It is one of the temples of Bando 33 Kannon. I happened to pass by nearby, so I worshiped, but both the mountain gate and the main hall were wonderfully splendid, and the ginkgo trees and maple trees in the precincts were beautifully colored, so I was able to worship at a very good time. The main hall is worth a visit!
