Anaōji 穴太寺

Anaōji is the 21st of the 33 Shingon sect Buddhist temples in the Kansai area dedicated to Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion. The temple boasts one of the most beautiful gardens in the Tamba region.

The main hall of Anaōji enshrines a wooden statue of the Shaka Nehan Buddha (the enlightened Siddhartha Gautama), which is said to have healing powers if you touch the statue on the spot where you feel pain in your body.
