Overview

Vermillion temple perched precariously on a seaside cliff.

Dedicated to safe voyages and childbirth, this Kannon temple sits atop a rocky crag overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The view from the temple balcony is breathtaking, with the water crashing directly below. It resembles a smaller, sea-bound version of Kiyomizu-dera's stage.
