*''Other Names: Shuri Kannon-dô (Shuri Kannon Hall)''
*''Japanese'': 慈眼院 ''(Jigen-in)''
Jigen-in, also known as the [[Shuri]] [[Kannon]]-dô, is a [[Rinzai]] [[Zen]] temple a short distance from [[Shuri Castle]], on [[Okinawa]].
Long a site for prayers for safe journeys, those traveling to Japan on the ''[[Edo nobori]]'' missions typically prayed here first for a safe journey, prior to their departure from [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryûkyû]].
The Kannon-dô was established in [[1616]] as a branch temple of [[Tenkai-ji]], though the Jigen-in was already established previously.
