Daikanon-ji is best known for its large Kannon statue, a striking figure of the Buddhist goddess of mercy. It stands near the Louvre Sculpture Museum and feels almost like one more monumental outdoor work, though this is a functioning temple rather than an art display.
It is a worthwhile stop if you are already exploring the Sakakibara Onsen side of Tsu or want one of the area's more unusual religious sights.
