An impressive Kannon hall built using the "Kake-zukuri" (overhanging) architectural style on a steep cliffside. A serene atmosphere reminiscent of its days as a place of ascetic training lingers here, and the view overlooking the Aizu Basin from the hall is exceptional. This wooden structure, integrated with the natural rock face, showcases traditional Japanese architectural techniques and a profound reverence for nature. Though the path is a bit rugged, it is a hidden power spot where you can feel the weight of history in total silence.
