Shinto shrines

長谷寺

Hasedera in Nagano, known as Shinshu Hase Kannon, presents itself as an ancient temple founded in the Asuka period by a revelation linked to the Zenkoji Buddha. Official pages highlight the Eleven-faced Kannon as a deity for warding off misfortune and inviting good fortune, and count the temple among Japan’s three major Hase Kannon sites with Nara and Kamakura.
