Chokokuji 長谷寺 Chokoku-Ji, Ariki
大悲山 Daihizan 長谷寺 Chokokuji
千葉県市原市海士有木1643 / Chiba, Ishihara town, Ama, Ariki

The main statue is 十一面観世音菩薩 Juichimen Kannon Bosatsu.

Built on request of 聖武天皇 Emperor Shomu Tenno (701 - 756).
Saint 行基菩薩 Gyoki Bosatsu travelled around Japan to built temples.
Nearby was a large kuzu no ki 楠樹 Camphora officinarum
which Gyoki used to make the statue of Kannon Bosatsu.
The temple was first called 大悲山自然寺 Daihizan Shizen-Ji.
Later 平将門 Taira no Masakado (903 - 940) renamed the temple.
