Praying for Children Temple is popular among Japanese people!

My Japanese friends in Greater Tokyo visited an ancient temple with over a thousand years of history, famous for its fertility-seeking temples. 😅 My Japanese friend just got married a few years ago, so it's perfect for her. 😂😂😂
Kasamori Kannon Temple is known as the "Temple of Prayer and Fragrance." The mysterious scent of Buddhist incense fills the Kannon Hall, the fragrance of flowers fills the grounds, and the aroma of the forest lingers on the approach path. Bathed in endless fragrance, it's a truly refreshing and soothing journey. Although I'm not a believer, I find it enjoyable simply to hike and admire the ancient sites.

This is Japan's only main hall built using the "four-way suspension" method, and it's a designated Important Cultural Property. In 784 AD, Saicho, the founder of the Tendai sect in Japan, carved the Eleven-Faced Avalokitesvara from a sacred tree, thus establishing Kasamori Kannon. The main hall was built in 1028 AD at the request of Emperor Go-Ichijo. The mountains surrounding this area have been designated a prefectural natural park, and the forest where the main hall sits was designated a National Natural Monument in 1970, making it fully protected.

Unfortunately, there's no public transportation here, so most people travel by car or bicycle. Whenever friends visit Chiba, I always bring them here.

This temple, known as the “Temple of Prayer and Fragrance,” invites visitors to savor the scent of incense in the hall, of flowers on the grounds and of the forest along the road. I’m not religion follower but just treat it as a hiking and visit historical attraction trip. The main hall is designated as a National Important Cultural Property and is the only example of the "Shiho-Kakezukuri" architectural style in Japan.

Kasamori Kannon was founded in 784 when Saicho, patriarch of the Tendai school of Japanese Buddhism, carved a statue of an eleven-faced Kannon Bosatsu on a sacred tree. The main hall was built in 1028 at the behest of Emperor Go-Ichijo. The mountains around the temple are designated as a prefectural nature park, while the forest on the mountain where the main hall stands has been designated and protected as a national natural monument since 1970.

It’s pity no public transport to come here so basically only by car or by bicycle. Every When someone visits me in Chiba, I'll take them here.
