Daifukuji Temple ( Cliff Kannon)

Japan, 835 Funagata , Tateyama City, Chiba Prefecture 294-0056

Daifukuji Temple is said to have been founded by Gyoki in the first year of the Yoro era, and there are 11 standing Kannon statues carved into the rock face of the mountain to pray for safety at sea and a bountiful catch. Kannon-do, which clings to a cliff, is rare in Japan. Additionally, the ceiling paintings of plants centered around Minamiboso that are painted on the ceiling of Kannon-do Hall are spectacular and well worth seeing.
