Route
Compact Kannon circuit through Saitama’s Chichibu basin — the shortest leg of the Japan 100 Kannon pilgrimage.
Thirty-four neighborhood and mountain temples dedicated to Kannon. Together with Saigoku (33) and Bandō (33) it completes Japan’s classic 100-temple Kannon pilgrimage. Quieter and more walkable than Shikoku or Saigoku.
34 mapped anchors on the circuit.
