Nariai-ji Temple

成相寺

The 28th temple on the Saigoku 33 Kannon pilgrimage. A mountain temple at about 330 meters, offering a panoramic view of Amanohashidate.

Nariai-ji was founded in 704 and is the 28th stop on the Saigoku 33 Kannon pilgrimage. Its name comes from a legend about wishes being fulfilled, and prayers to the Beautiful Kannon (Bijin Kannon) are said to be especially effective. The temple contains a five-story pagoda and the “Dragon Facing Forward” carved by Hidari Jingorō. The Benten-yama lookout, a little higher up, offers a view of Amanohashidate from a steeper angle than Kasamatsu Park. Admission is about 500 yen. The temple is open roughly 8:00 to 16:30. From Kasamatsu Park's summit station, take a mountain bus for about 7 minutes.
