In the precincts of Doryu-ji, there are many Kannon statues lined up in a row. They call them “One Hundred Kannon” of Japan.

Here, there was a bronze statue of Emon Saburo asking for devotion to Kobo-Daishi, which I saw with great interest because I had read his story in the booklet I received at Ishide-ji.

It is said that the pilgrimage from No.71 Iyadani-ji to No.77 Doryu-ji is considered as same as visiting 88 temples for the people with weak legs and back if they manage to visit these seven temples on foot.
