Le temple des Deux Cents Jizo se trouve à l'entrée du petit village de Naraijuku sur la route historique Nakasendo. En réalité, la majorité de ces deux cents "Jizo" sont des "Kannon", autre divinité féminine du Bouddhisme. Le long de cette route, les "Kannon" sont souvent assimilées aux "Jizo" dont ils partagent les mêmes rôles de protection des voyageurs.
