Setagaya Kannon (a second trip) / 世田谷観音 (二回目)




After the meal that Reiko and I had at Jaja Oiken, it was time to start on our little walk.  I wanted to show Reiko one of Setagaya Ward's 100 Scenic Sites and also one that was within walking distance from Sangenjaya station.  I took her to the Setagaya Kannon.

じゃじゃおいけんのじゃじゃ麺を食べた後、散歩開始。れいちゃんに世田谷区百景の一つに連れてあげた。三軒茶屋から歩ける距離なんで、世田谷観音に行きました。




Very large tree / 大きいな木






Setagaya Kannon's Chozuya / 世田谷観音の手水舎





Tokko Kannon-do / 特攻観音堂




Prayer boards / 絵馬





Yume Chigai Kannon / 夢違い観音


This Kannon will turn your nightmares, incidents you never want to experience, and things you want to forget into good dreams.

悪い夢(二度と経験したくないこと、思い出したくないことなど)を良い夢に変えてくれます。

I never get tired of looking at the small details of the temples and their surrounding buildings.

お寺や神社を見るのは飽きないね。芸術です。
