Tachiki Kannon Temple

Tachiki Kannon Temple was founded by Kukai (774–835), the priest who established the Shingon school of Buddhism. According to legend, a white deer appeared in front of Kukai, who mounted it to jump across the Seta River and reach a sacred shining tree that he saw on the opposite bank. The priest rode the deer to the top of a nearby mountain, where the animal transformed into Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion.

The temple is dedicated to Kannon, and the main hall (hondo) contains a 1.6-meter wooden statue of Kannon reputedly carved by Kukai. Visitors can pray to Kannon at the front of the hall or use the smaller area behind the building, closer to where the deity is kept. The sacred sculpture is not on public display, but another statue at the temple entrance depicts Kukai riding the magical deer.

The most direct path up to Tachiki Kannon is a winding stone staircase with more than 800 steps. The mountain is covered with cedar trees, and along the ascent the sounds of traffic and the rushing river below are replaced with birdsong.

立木觀音（立木山安養寺）

立木觀音（立木山安養寺）由創立日本佛教真言宗的著名高僧空海（774-835年）建造。傳說當年曾有一頭白鹿載著空海躍過瀨田川，將他帶到對岸一棵閃光的神樹下，當一人一鹿到達附近的山頂時，白鹿變成了大慈大悲觀世音菩薩。

寺廟以觀音菩薩為主佛，本堂（正殿）裡供奉著1.6公尺高的木雕觀音像，相傳為空海親手雕刻。參拜者可以在本堂前面向觀音菩薩祈禱，也可以在本堂後面一處小區域參拜，後者更靠近殿內供奉的木雕觀音像。觀音像不對外開放，但寺廟入口處還有一座空海騎神鹿的雕像。

通往寺廟最近的上山路是一條由800多級不規則台階組成的蜿蜒小道，漫山都是杉樹，隨著步步攀高，山腳下的車水馬龍與河流的湍急水聲漸漸消失，取而代之的是鳥鳴聲。

立木观音（立木山安养寺）

立木观音（立木山安养寺）由创立日本佛教真言宗的著名高僧空海（774-835年）建造。传说当年曾有一头白鹿载着空海跃过濑田川，将他带到对岸一棵闪光的神树下，当一人一鹿到达附近的山顶时，白鹿变成了大慈大悲观世音菩萨。

寺庙以观音菩萨为主佛，本堂（正殿）里供奉着1.6米高的木雕观音像，相传为空海亲手雕刻。参拜者可以在本堂前面向观音菩萨祈祷，也可以在本堂后面一块小空间里进行，后者更靠近殿内供奉的木雕观音像。观音像不对外开放，但寺庙入口处还有一座空海骑神鹿的雕像。

通往寺庙最近的上山路是一条有800多级不规则台阶的蜿蜒小道，漫山都是杉树。一路往上，山脚下的车水马龙与河流的湍急水声渐渐消失，取而代之的，是悦耳的鸟鸣。
