Regarding use of photos

This is an ancient temple mentioned in the Kofuku-ji Kanmuchosho (Courtesy of the Kofuku-ji Temple), and it is said that the splendor of its Kannon Hall was so much talked about by people as far away as the capital, but unfortunately it burned down, and the current Kannon Hall is said to have been built by the monk Kakunin during the Edo period. The temple enshrines the Thousand-Armed, Eleven-Headed Kannon as its principal image. Long ago, there was a giant snake living in the surrounding valley that was bothering the villagers, and it was defeated by giving the snake sake, which is why this place came to be called Sanami. The name of the temple also has the same origin. The temple is located at the foot of a mountain with a long approach, and in spring, Edohigan cherry blossoms and Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms bloom beautifully, soothing the eyes of those who come to worship.
