Located in Nishiaizu-machi, Fukushima Prefecture, Torioi Kannon (Nyoho-ji Temple) is counted as one of the Japan Heritage Aizu 33 Kannon. Within the Kannon temple there are two dakitsuki pillars, and it is said that if someone embraces each of them and prays, Kannon (the goddess of mercy) will guide them to a good marriage.
In this video, a priest of Nyoho-ji Temple will talk about the significance of the dakitsuki pillars.
