The Aizu Thirty-Three Kannon Tour is very popular, especially in rural areas.

Masayuki Hoshina designated the 33 Kannon temples in the Aizu domain as temples, centering around Wakamatsu (Aizu Wakamatsu) where the castle is located, and the 33 Kannon temples in the Kita Aizu region. This ``Aizu Thirty-Three Kannon'' was the beginning of the Aizu Thirty-Three Kannon Tour, which became extremely popular as an excursion for both friendship and entertainment among the local people, especially women in rural areas.

However, the territory of the Aizu clan was large and was originally established asAizu 33 Kannon'' were gathered in Kita-Aizu, so there was a growing desire to create 33 Kannon temples even in areas far from Aizu-Wakamatsu, and ``Okuriri Thirty-three Kannon Temples”, and the east area has “Inawashiro 33 Kannon” and so on, the 33 Kannon were born. All of them have been certified as a Japanese Heritage Site, ``The Thirty-Three Kannon Tours of Aizu - Observing the Culture of Aizu in the Past through Pilgrimage''.
