Description:
- Known more because it was not destroyed in the conflagration of the civil war of 1868 rather than for its supposed resemblance to Kyoto's Kiyomizudera is this Tokyo version which Tenkai, Kaneiji's first abbot, had constructed in 1631 to pay homage to the Kannon of the 1,000 arms. The dolls on view here represent gratitude from couples who became fertile after praying to Kannon's image. Admission: Free
