I visited Shiofune-kannon temple in Ome , 1 hour 30 minutes from the center of Tokyo .

This temple founded AD 645, a nun from Wakasa region ( today’s Fukui prefecture) offered the gold statue of Kannon Buddha .


It’s a Shingon school Buddhism today, one of the oldest schools in Japanese Buddhism.
