Temple 4 of the Izumo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage is Kannon-ji located in downtown Izumo City just off old Route 9.
Therewere a couple of shrines in the grounds, and this structure which contains, I believe, statues of the Judges of Hell.
Prayer slips left by pilgrims. I was there in April and the cherries were in full bloom. There is a small bell tower, and possibly an Imperial Messenger gate which would indicate that the temple held some importance in earlier times.
beautiful, thank you!
