No.52 Ryūunzan Gojin Taisanji
An ancient temple on a hill overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The front gate, built around 700 years ago, is an Important Cultural Property, and the main hall, rebuilt in 1305, is a National Treasure—one of the oldest wooden main halls in the Shikoku pilgrimage after Ishite-ji. The refined yet powerful architecture and the calming sea views make this a memorable stop.
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.

Johannes comment
Outskirts of Matsuyama; the walk there through the city can be unpleasant and is easy to shorten by bus. Hilltop, fairly unpretentious grounds, but the main hall is a National Treasure and among the grandest halls on the route. Stamp office is near/behind the parking area rather than at the main grounds (can confuse). Ferry port to Hiroshima is ~1 km west; returning offers an adventurous back-road approach. Okuno-in sacred mountain reportedly ~300 m to the southeast.
