Karamatsu Kannondo in Yamagata City is located in the upper reaches of the Umamigasaki River, which is famous for the best imoni ceremony in the Japan. It was built in 1661 by the castle owner at that time, Prince Matsudaira Tadahiro. The main statue, Kannon-sama, is said to be the work of Kobo Daishi, and the hall is built in imitation of Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
