Chichibu Fudasho No.21 Kannon-ji Temple
Less than 1 km from Fushosho No. 20 Iwanoue-do is Fushosho No. 21 Kannon-ji Temple.
Although the main hall is small now, it is said to have been a large hall in the past.
In 1923, the present main hall was built after a fire broke out at a nearby elementary school.
There is an arrow storage hall where Tairano Masakado deposited his arrows to pray for victory in battle. Within the temple grounds are the Basho monument, a statue of the Kannon (Goddess of Mercy), the Hyakumanben Shonen Pagoda, and the stone pagoda of Benzaiten (Goddess of Mercy).
The main deity is Shokannon.
