Overview
This Kannondo hall is the eleventh stop on the Aizu 33 Kannon Pilgrimage. It is dedicated to Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion, and dates from the early Muromachi period (1336–1573). It is believed that an earlier building was built by Tokuichi Daishi (781–842), a noted priest from the Aizu region, in the Heian period (794–1185). However, the original was destroyed and subsequently rebuilt in its present location. The attractive grounds include a pond. The hall was listed as an Important Cultural Property in 1960.
