The Sanmon (main gate) of Kannon-in, a Tendai sect temple in Tottori City. Built originally in 1632 it was moved to its current location in 1639.
The temple was built for the Ikeda family who had been installed as Daimyo of the Tottori Domain.
The main deity is Kannon and supposedly the temple was given a statue of Kannon carved out of local rock by Gyoki in the 8th Century.
It is temple number 32 on the Chugoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage Route.
The main reason to visit the temple, if you are not a pilgrim, is for the garden.....
