Otowasan Kannon-ji Temple
This temple has long been thought to cure eye conditions. There are many theories about its founding, including one that Jo'e built during the construction of Myorakuji Temple to ward off demons from that temple. The temple is famous for its 500 year-old Ohatsuki Icho ginkgo tree, which has been designated as a prefectural natural monument. The tree is a botanically valuable example of an atavism (a trait previously lost during a species' evolutionary history) that causes fruit to grow from the tree's leaves.
