Matsuchiyama Shoden Temple

Matsuchiyama Shoden Temple is on a little hill beside Sumida River.
It's said that this hill suddenly raised in the year of 595 and a dragon appeared from the sky and flied around the hill to protect it.

When they had terrible drought in 601, Juichimen Kanzeon Bosatsu (Eleven faces Kannon) appeared as Daishokangiten to save people.

Somehow white radish and purse are used as offerings here.
White radish is a symbol of good health and good marriage.
Purse is a symbol of prosperity.

There's a small monorail to climb the hill.
