It is the oldest Kannon in Japan to ward off evil spirits and has the legend of ``Dragon of Two Ponds'', celebrating its 1,300th anniversary (2012). Since ancient times, it has been said that if you pray to Kannon on August 9th and roll this Dalian beads, you will receive the merits and benefits equivalent to visiting Kannon for 46,000 days. The principal image is the Eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva.
There is a flower festival in mid-April, and 250 Kirishima azaleas are planted in the Ryujin Garden in the shape of a 25-meter-long "nobori dragon" holding a red and white ball.
