The 33rd temple of the Kyushu Shingon Pilgrimage of 108 temples is Eiganji, located in Kadogawa, overlooking a picturesque bay flanked by two peninsulas.
It's a small temple and the main hall is made of concrete, though it claims to originate in the 9th Century.
The honzon is Yakushi Nyorai and is said to be even older, dating back to the Nara Period. It is a Hidden Buddha, and so can not be viewed.
There are a few statues in the grounds including this Kannon, and also a small Inari Shrine.
