By touring the three temples, visitors can experience the rich history and culture that exists in Minamikawachi. *This year only, Domyoji will have the former national treasure, the current Important Cultural Property, Eleven-Headed Kannon statue, due to its principal image, the National Treasure Eleven-Headed Kannon statue, being exhibited at the Osaka Municipal Museum of Fine Arts.
Basic information
◆Main Hall During this year, the principal image of the temple, the National Treasure Eleven-Headed Kannon, will be exhibited at the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art's "Japan National Treasure Exhibition," so instead, the former National Treasure (currently an Important Cultural Property) "Trial Kannon" will be open to the public for the first time in seven years. The "Trial Kannon," which is said to have been made by Sugawara no Michizane himself prior to the principal image, is not regularly open to the public, so this will be a rare opportunity.
