Saikoin Temple

In the Heian period (8th century to 12th century), for the purpose of creating the Kannon of Hase-dera Temple, a large camphor tree was transported through the Takenouchi Pass.
The branch tips that were cut off at this time were used to craft this temple's Misogi Kannon.
The stone wall in front of the temple also has a tortoise shell stone, which represents good omens.
