No.61 Sendanzan Kyōōin Koonji
Notable for its modern architecture, the reinforced concrete Great Hall built in 1976 serves as both the main hall and Daishidō. Its contemporary design resembles a modern art museum more than a traditional temple, symbolizing Buddhism’s presence in modern society. Nearby stands the Koyasu Daishi, worshipped for safe childbirth and childrearing.
I like to travel, and whenever I have time, I walk all over the place. He is particularly knowledgeable about the Shikoku Pilgrimage and enjoys talking about the temples and the journey. I like talking to people and value encounters.

Modern surprising concrete exterior (‘bunker-like’) but grand interior ceremonial hall with Dainichi Nyorai. You can pray from the outside, but also see the inner hall. New administration building. Important Fudō Myōō okuno-in with waterfall halfway between 60 and 61.
