\n It is a separate head temple of the Daigo school of Shingon Buddhism and is officially called Daihizan Shiobune Kannonji Temple. The temple was founded in 645-650 during the Taika era (645-650) by a nun from Wakasa Province who enshrined a 1.8 cm statue of the Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) in purple gold. The main statue, a standing wooden carving of the eleven-faced thousand-armed Avalokitesvara, measures 4.4 meters and was created in 1264 during the Kamakura period (1185-1333). The temple gate is a national important cultural property, and the temple is also known for its azalea, hydrangea, higanbana, and bush clovers, etc. The “Azalea Festival” held from mid-April to early May is especially famous, with approximately 20,000 azaleas blooming on the slopes of the temple grounds, delighting visitors’ eyes (an entrance fee is required during the festival).
