Tōkai Hundred Kannon

Mie-ji, the 18th of the Mino Thirty-three Kannon[1]

The Tōkai Hundred Kannon (東海百観音 Tōkai Hyaku Kannon) are a collection of one-hundred Buddhist temples in the Tōkai region of central Honshū, Japan.

The Tōkai Hundred Kannon is made of up of the Mino Thirty-three Kannon in Gifu Prefecture,[1] the Owari Thirty-three Kannon in western Aichi Prefecture, the Mikawa Thirty-three Kannon in eastern Aichi Prefecture, and Toyokawa Inari.[2] Some religious observers go on a pilgrimage to visit these temples in a specific order.
