I found Tachiki-Kannon Temple by accident, on one of my bicycle explorations. While climbing the seemingly endless stone steps in the summer heat, I wondered what could possibly be worth such effort, and thought about giving up several times. However when I finally reached the top I found a beautiful temple with an interesting story, so I was glad I persevered.
