宮城県気仙沼市本町 1-4-16 / 1 Chome-4-16 Motomachi, Kesennuma-shi
In former times this region was within the influence of the Ezo Emishi 蝦夷 people from the North.
The temple is located on a hill overlooking the town of Kesennuma.
In 709, 藤原宇合 Fujiwara no Umakai (694 - 737) had been sent here to subdue these people. He killed many and placed their heads (which had been cut off as a sign of victory) on the Southern Mountain Range 南流山. This was the beginning of the temple.
Later in 742 行基菩薩 Gyoki Bosatsu passed here and carved the statue of Kannon.
In 850 慈覚大師 Ennin Jigaku Daishi built a small hall and founded a temple near the beach, Kaigan Kannon-Ji 海岸山観音寺.
Minamoto no Yoshitsune passed here and grieved for
Princess Minatsuru Hime 皆鶴姫.
He had the temple rebuild at the mountain with the present
Kannon Hall 観音堂.
Now it is called 瑞国海岸山観音寺 Kaiganzan Kannon-Ji.
In 1732, the 5th Daimyo 伊達吉村 Date Yoshimura visited here and collected a lot of money for repair work of the inner sanctuary.
The main statues are Kannon, Amida Nyorai and Fudo Myo-O.

Fujiwara no Umakai 藤原 宇合
(694 – September 7, 737) was a Japanese statesman, courtier, general and politician during the Nara period. The third son of Fujiwara no Fuhito, he founded the Shikike ("Ceremonials") branch of the Fujiwara clan.
He was a diplomat during the reign of Empress Genshō; and he was minister during the reign of Emperor Shōmu. In the Imperial court, Umakai was the chief of protocol (Shikibu-kyō).
716 (Reiki 2): Along with Tajihi no Agatamori (多治比縣守), Abe no Yasumaro (阿倍安麻呂) and Ōtomo no Yamamori (大伴山守), Umakai was named to be part of a Japanese diplomatic mission to Tang China in 717-718. Kibi no Makibi and the Buddhist monk Genbō were also part of the entourage.
724 (Jinki 1, 1st month): Umakai led an army against the emishi; but this military campaign was later judged to have been unsuccessful.
729 (Tenpyō 1): The emperor invested Umakai with the power to raise an army to quash a revolt, but the cause for alarm was dissipated without the need for military action.
737 (Tenpyō 9): Umakai died at age 44. A smallpox epidemic caused the deaths of Umakai and his three brothers.
