Jizo Temple

Jizo-ji Temple in Okusa, Chita City, was founded in the Kamakura period. It has long been affectionately known as "Okusa's Jizo-san," and the well from which the Enmei Mizukake Jizo was pulled up still remains in front of the main hall. This Enmei Mizukake Jizo is said to cure eye diseases and various other illnesses, as a person named Otake once pulled a Jizo that had fallen into a well out of the well and continued to wash it, which opened its blind eyes and allowed it to see again. The temple is crowded with worshippers on the festival days on the 23rd and 24th of February and August.
