Fire Drill at Kasamori Kannon: One of Japan’s most unique temples!

This week, we went to Kasamori Kannon to see their annual fire drill. This historic wooden building is the only temple structure in Japan that’s built over a cliff on all four sides, making it a one-of-a-kind destination. It’s located within a preserved old-growth forest in the hills of central Chiba, just outside Tokyo.

Google Maps Plus Code: 95XX+VH Chonan, Chiba

Directions by train & bus from Tokyo: Take the JR Sotobo Line to Mobara Station, and go to the bus station outside the south exit. Take the Kominato bus from the number-4 bus stop. The bus follows different routes depending on the time of day, with some routes stopping at the “Kasamori” bus stop right in front of the Kasamori Kannon entrance, while others stop at the “Kiriwari” bus stop, about a 15-minute walk from the Kasamori Kannon entrance (Note: the “Kiriwari” bus stop may show as “Fukazawakiriwari” on Google Maps).

For an alternate train route: Take the JR Uchibo Line to Goi Station, transfer to the Kominato Railway, then get off at Kazusa-Ushiku Station. The same Kominato bus line as described above can also be accessed at Kazusa-Ushiku Station.

I’d recommend researching the routes on Google Maps before planning your trip, as the bus lines can be a little confusing and usually only run about once or twice an hour. Luckily, I’ve found that Google Maps has recently become a lot more reliable for countryside buses in Chiba.

The temple hall is open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM (4:30 from April to September)
