Ryozen Kannon Temple

4.3 (200)・Tourist Attraction・Place Of Worship・Point Of Interest・Establishment

Nestled in the serene precincts of Kyoto's historic Higashiyama district, Ryozen Kannon Temple stands as a solemn testament to the transcendence of peace over the ravages of war. This monumental site, dedicated in 1955, is anchored by a majestic 24-meter-tall statue of the Goddess of Mercy, Kannon—a towering figure of compassion sculpted from concrete and steel to memorialize the souls lost in the Pacific War.

Beyond its awe-inspiring statue, the temple serves as a poignant reminder of the universal quest for peace, with its memorials honoring fallen soldiers from all sides of the conflict. Whether you're drawn by the allure of its spiritual significance or the quiet beauty of its setting, Ryozen Kannon Temple offers a journey into the heart of Kyoto's cultural heritage.

Discover this unique blend of solemn history and serene beauty. Embark on a journey to Ryozen Kannon Temple and immerse yourself in a profound experience of reflection and peace.

和平与安静，没有游客，气氛非常好，该建筑群是为二战受害者而建的。可以看到寺庙没有任何补贴，纪念碑后面也稍显荒废。从后面有一个入口，可以看到一个巨大的人物，我记得很清楚，里面有某个年份出生的人的守护者和赞助人。该设施值得参观。

位于京都东山一带的灵山观音寺院，与清水寺距离不远，只需20分钟步程。 寺院面积不大，入场费300丹。主建筑为一尊巨型坐着于寺庙顶上的石雕观音，虽然寺院面积不大，游客不多，但环境倍感宁静，也是值得到访的。
