About Gantokuji temple
This temple was originally founded in Muko City in 679 but was destroyed by fire during wartime; it was subsequently relocated to its current site in 1973. Although it is a small temple, it is known for housing a National Treasure – a statue of Nyoirin Kannon – as its principal image.
