Tsubosakadera Temple
The propagation of Buddhism, to which Zenshin-ni devoted herself, led to the construction of a great number of temples. This temple’s main object of worship, the Jyuichimen Senjyu Kannon (an 11-headed, 1,000-armed goddess of mercy), is believed to have miraculous powers to cure eye diseases. On the vast temple grounds, you’ll see various stone Buddhist statues, including a huge Kannon statue, a gigantic reclining Buddha, a massive Shaka Nyorai, and a cluster of small rakan figures (disciples of Buddha).
