Imamiya-bo Temple

The temple was once founded by Shogoin, the famous head temple of Shugendo, but with the separation of Buddhism from Shintoism and the abolition of Shugendo in the early Meiji period, Imamiya Shrine and Kannondo were separated.

The current Kannondō was rebuilt in 1709, and in front of the Kannondō is the only Rinne-to (pagoda) in the Chichibu fuda-sho area. It is said that if you turn it, the living will be promised the highest happiness and the departed will be reborn from hell to heaven.
