Koyasu Kannon
A Buddhist temple in Shimogo Town, Minamiaizu County, Fukushima Prefecture. The temple's Kannon-do hall stands on hill with a sweeping view of the thatched roof homes of the Ouchi-juku post station district. The temple hall is normally closed but a festival is held once a year when the Buddhist image inside is displayed to the general public. The temple is dedicated to the protection of children and women and many worshippers come here to pray for children, safe childbirth, and healthy child growth.
