Tamiya-ji temple, where Shinto Gods and Buddhist Gods become one, you don’t pray to each separately because from the beginning they don’t have any form. According to the records it is a place where Mifune vessel from Ise Shrine is stored.
According to temple’s legend, it was founded by 行基菩薩 Gyōki (668-749), a famous monk who traveled around Japan to preach to commoners, in September 725.
. 行基菩薩 Gyoki Bosatsu (668 - 749) .
As ordered by Emperor Shōmu (701-756), he named the temple Jingū Hōraku-ji and as a main statue he made two statues of Eleven-faced Kannon. Between 767 and 770 the temple’s buildings were lost in the fire. They were rebuilt thanks to Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi, 774-835, the founder of Shingon sect), who stayed at the grounds for some time after his return from China. Later when Tamiya-ji prospered again, Kūkai was acknowledged and worshiped as a rebuilder of the temple.
According to commentary written by Ōnishi Gen’ichi and included in the official temple’s pamphlet issued by supporter group, Tamiya-ji was built between 995 and 999 by a head of Arakida clan, who was also a head priest at the Ise Shrine. Since then the temple became Arakida’s family temple and abbots were also chosen from members of that clan (and Shingon sect monks at the same time). Because the records from 1496 state that the temple was rebuilt once again that year, it probably fall into a decline at some point.
In Nara (710-794) and Heian (794-1192) period, when Buddhism prospered in Japan, Buddhist temples (Jingū-ji) were built within main Shinto shrine’s grounds. For example a Jingū-ji temple connected to Ise Shrine was placed in Ōkase in Taki-chō district. Tamiya-ji was also constructed as a Hōraku-ji temple – a temple bringing Buddhist teachings and Enlightenment to Shinto gods of Ise Shrine. At its grounds there was a hall called Mifune Hall which would store a box called Mifuneshiro (vessel to transport the divine artefact, originally in a shape of a boat) used during the Shikinen Sengū ritual (rebuilding of the shrine) at the Ise Shrine. The new Mifuneshiro would be presented to Tamiya-ji each twenty years, after it has been used for the ceremony.
Regional powerful clans of Kitabatake, Tamaru and Aisu donated lands of Tamiya-ji village, Katsuta, Yano and Hara village to the temple. According to the land survey conducted in 16th Century, among the temple’s land an equivalent of 5.95 ha (14.7 ac) was the donated land. During 17th and 18th Century this land produced 2t of rice every year.
Beside the Main Hall, more buildings such as Daishi Hall (Hall of Kūkai), Tenjin shrine (Shinto God of Knowledge and Thunders = Sugawara no Michizane), Mifune Hall (Hall with the divine vessel), Shōten Hall (Kangiten, Ganesha, a god of conjugal harmony and long life), Fudō Hall (Hall of Fudō Myō-ō – Immovable Wisdom King), Dainichi Hall (Great Illuminating Buddha) and buildings of a sub-temple (tacchū) Higashinobō Kōgi-in used to stand. But after the order of Separation of Shinto and Buddhism (shinbutsu bunri) was issued by Meiji government in 1869,
Tamiya-ji seized to exist. All buildings except for Shōten Hall and living quarters of the abbot were torn down.
Main statues of Tamiya-ji are two 167cm high statues of Jūichimen Kannon (Eleven-Faced Kannon) made in the 9th Century (beginning of Heian period). Each is made from single block of Japanese hinoki cypress. One of the statues has some coloring left, while on the other some gold foil can still be found.
These two Kannon statues were first registered as National Treasure in 1915, to be registered also as Important Cultural Properties in 1950. Both of them are enshrined in the Shōten Hall of the Tamiya-ji temple.
On the 18th of every month a temple’s festival is held. Many visitors from close and far come to pray and whish for: expelling of bad luck, finding love, happy marriage, family members’ luck, fortune in business, safety of the household, abundant crops, protection from disasters, good fortune, pregnancy and safe childbirth. Two Kannon statues are shown to the public during special ceremonies on the 18th of February and 9th of August.

taikozaka 太鼓坂 the slope of the big drum
Once upon a time, near 幸福寺 the Temple Kofuku-Ji there lived ryuu 竜 one dragon.
He was the master of kanetsukidoo 鐘つき堂 the Temple Bell Hall.
One day the dragon went to the local pond and when he came back, he found that someone had stolen the bell.
The dragon became quite crazy about the loss, took the big drum and run away, shouting
"I am going to borrow this, when the bell comes back, I bring it back!"
After that, nobody had seen the drum any more.
If people walk along the slope of the temple, they can hear the sound of
"ponpon, ponpon" - the big drum.
Anyway, the bell was stolen by the dragon from 筑波山 Mount Tsukubasan.
If the bell rings at Tsukuba Temple, people can hear it sing:
kayama koishi 栢間恋し I long for Kayama.

- - another legend from the temple
One evening a beautifully dressed 弁天様 Benten Sama came here and stepped on the ground.
There was the sound of a drum. Benten liked the sound, begun to play her Biwa and danced.
When morning came, she disappeared.
Now people called the place "slope of the big drum".

Matsuo Kannonji 松尾観音寺 Matsuo Kannon-Ji, Kusube
龍池山 Ryūchizan 松尾観音寺 Matsuo Kannonji

伊勢市楠部町 松尾山 156-6 / Ise City, Kusube town, Matsuosan

The Kannon statue is 十一面 Juichimen Kannon.

- quote
According to temple’s records, Matsuo Kannon-ji was built in Nara period (712) by Gyōki – a high priest who came to Mount Matsuo during his pilgrimage to Ise Shrine. This temple does not have branches (matsuji) or associated believers (danka), also it does not belong to any Buddhist sect. Matsuo Kannon-ji is a temple specialized in prayer for divine favors.
Its main statue is a miraculous Jūichimen Kannon (Eleven-Faced Kannon), accompanied by
Bodhisattva Jizō (Bodhisattva who looks over children, travelers and the underworld) and　
Bishamon (God of Treasure, Wealth, & Warriors). Many visitors come and pray to them asking for warding off calamities, bringing good fortune and many other favors.
For generations Matsu Kannon-ji was protected by the Kitabatake clan, a family of Governors of Ise. After Kitabatake clan was united and changed their surname to Kotsukuri, the temple became their official family temple (ujidera).
The Main Hall of the temple is made from Japanese zelkova. It was donated by Kotsukuri Nagasato and constructed 200 years ago in 1820.
In 1998 Kannon Hall was rebuilt thanks to donations gathered from all over the country in a fund-raising campaign organized by local supporters.
- - - 10.000 sutra copies in a finial of the roof
During the construction works at the roof of the Main Hall in 1954, 10.000 copies of Lotus Sutra were found inside the finial of the roof. All of them were written by hand and put in 500 boxes. To protect the sutras from bookworms, they were wrapped in oiled paper and sealed in boxes together with tobacco leaves.
- - - The legend of pond dragons that protect the main statue
There is a legend which explains the Mountain name of this temple – Ryūchizan (Dragon pond mountain).　
The name comes from two ponds behind the Main Hall which are called　
Futatsu ike (Two Ponds) or Ryū ike (Dragon Ponds). 　
People believe that since ancient times there are two dragons living in them, a male dragon in the eastern pond and a female dragon in the western. Their role is to protect Goddess Kannon enshrined in this temple. According to a legend, 600 years ago in 1403, when the Main Hall was on fire, two dragons protected the Goddess from burning. The male dragon flew down from the sky and while sucking in the flames, he wrapped the statue with his own body. Then the female dragon took water from the pond in her mouth and sprayed on the fire protecting them both from burning.　　
Since then in the end of every month, monks offer sake, eggs and rice in front of both of the ponds. This is to show their gratitude to the dragons for saving Goddess Kannon on that day.　　
Because of that legend people started to believe this Kannon has power to protect people from disasters. 　
Also because dragons appearing in the story are male and female, people also believe that the Goddess has power to bind men and women together and grant them children. These beliefs are passed down from generation to generation and even now people still come to pray and ask Kannon and the dragons for protection.　　
- - - Mount Matsuo – a treasury of tradition and literature
Matsuo Kannon-ji grounds are also visited by people pursuing local culture. This temple is a home for many monuments engraved with poetry, as well as statues of Bodhisattva Jizō, each having its own legend.
Among the most prominent examples of poetry are:

My heart calms down seeing cherry blossoms in a cold evening.
Atake Sohaku (Ise, Kawasaki)

In twilight flowers and water give way to each other.
Ōnushi Kōu (Ise, Yōkaichiba)

One of the poems is about an old battle ground at Mount Kaibuki (Conch blowing mountain) in Uji Yamada area.
Visiting the remains of enemy’s defense lines, it occurred to me that conch is just a name and the mountain storm is the only thing that blows.
Kanamori Tokusui

In the Main Hall there are many colorful votive tablets hanging on the wall. They were offered by the believers and are a precious evidence of Matsuo Kannon-ji’s Kannon being the oldest example of Kannon’s warding off calamities cult. That is why it attracts attention of many local historians.

Especially the votive tablets from the middle of 19th Century have pictures that depict customs of the time. All of them were donated as a prayer and gratitude for granted wish. A tablet offered by a Geisha from Furuichi red light district is very colorful and bewitching. It gives a slight hint of mood of those times. Many other have pictures of dragons and sneaks, which probably were influenced by the temple’s Mountain name – Ryūchizan (Mount of Dragon’s pond)

Kongooshooji 金剛證寺 Kongosho-Ji, Asama
朝熊岳 Asamadake 金剛證寺 Kongoshoji

三重県伊勢市朝熊町548 / Mie, Ise city, Asama town

The Kannon statue is 十一面観音 Juichimen Kannon

- quote -
Asamadake Kongoshoji Temple: Shield of Ise Jingu
Kongoshoji Temple is located near the summit of Mt. Asama in Ise City, Mie Prefecture.
It was built by Kobo Daishi, the founder of the Shingon sect of Buddhism and one of the most revered persons in the religious history of Japan.
As I passed through the gate, I took the left walkway, and I found a red torii and a little shrine behind it, guarded by a fox statue. All of these were related to Shintoism. What was a Shinto shrine doing in the grounds of a Buddhist temple? This was explained by a staff member of this Buddhist temple at the main hall I visited next.
In general, in Buddhist temples, the main object of worship is enshrined in the main hall called Hondo as well as other most important objects of veneration. The term “Kondo” was also used to name such halls long ago. Japanese characters of Kondo mean “Golden Hall,” and as soon as I entered, I felt that was exactly right. Everything in this hall was all gold-plated, and the pillars, tengai canopy, vases and many other artifacts were just gorgeous.
The principal object of worship of the temple is hiddenly enshrined in a cabinet which looks like a miniature temple, called zushi, and the statue I saw was a temporary appearance. The real one is right in the middle of Hondo and revealed once in 20 years only. This practice is similar to Ise Jingu’s Shikinen Sengu, in which the divine palaces of Ise Jingu are reconstructed at alternate sites in every 20 years. Opening the zushi’s doors and revealing the principal object of Kongoshoji Temple is carried out one year after Ise Jingu’s Shikinen Sengu.
In Hondo, there was also a wooden statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate and one of the most important figures in the history of Japan. He played a very important role to support this temple. Thus, his statue was placed in Hondo with all other religious objects, as an expression of respect.
In traditional Japanese geomancy, the direction of northeast is thought to be unlucky.
It is believed evil spirits can enter from that direction 鬼門 kimon - gate of the demons.
As Kongoshoji Temple is located to the northeast of Ise Jingu, which has been revered as a special shrine in Japan since ancient times, it has been regarded as the protector of the spiritually vulnerable northeastern direction to the shrine.
Although Shintoism and Buddhism are different religions, they are worshipped here at the same time. Japan has a unique religious belief system whereby Japan’s indigenous deities of Shinto and Buddhist deities introduced from overseas are harmonized and fused, and they are believed in at the same time.

In front of the main hall, down the stairs was a pond covered with pink lotus flowers, remindful of the paintings of Claude Monet. In the middle of the pond, there was an old, very arched, red, wooden bridge, which seemed to be painted by Monet. This pond was surrounded by many religious symbols and huts as well as nature itself.
The path to the right side of Hondo brought me to another gate. This gate was called Gokurakumon, which means The Gate of Paradise. It led to a walkway surrounded by a very unique graveyard. As well as tombstones and Buddhist statues, there were long wooden posts on which posthumous names of deceased people were written.

These posts are called sotoba, which is the Japanese transliteration of the Sanskrit stupa. The path along this unique graveyard led to an inner sanctuary called OkunoIn.
