Legacy of Samurai & Compassion

A retreat where the compassion of the 11-headed Kannon and the memory of samurai live on.

Named after the 11-headed Kannon (Bodhisattva of Compassion) enshrined at the nearby Rokuharamitsuji Temple, Juichi-An stands in a neighborhood that once served as the stage for the Taira and Minamoto samurai clans of the 12th century. This is the area immortalized in countless Noh, Kabuki, and TV dramas — a place where sharp edges of history meet soft compassion.
