Exclusive Kannon in Temple Tour in Kanazawa
Exclusive Kannon‑in Temple Tour｜Kanazawa Slip one block past Higashi Chaya and enter Kannon‑in Street, a hushed lane leading to a 400‑year‑old temple rarely open to visitors. With an English‑speaking interpreter you’ll hear the lore of this hidden spiritual quarter before crossing the gate for a private rite.
In the main hall you join the Goma Fire Ritual: wooden prayer sticks are offered to the flames while mantras burn away worldly desires. You then walk Osuna‑fumi, tracing a circle on consecrated sand for body‑mind purification. Before leaving, the temple master’s wife hand‑brushes a personalised Goshuin seal for you to keep. Ancient statues and treasures are shown along the way.
