No.41 Inarizan Gokokuin Ryukoji

Temple
About

A gentle temple on a small hill in Mimamachi, Uwajima, overlooking rice fields. A rare layout places a torii gate beyond the temple gate, revealing the coexistence of Buddhism and Shinto. On clear days, distant ridgelines open up beyond the peaceful landscape. A soft, restorative stop during the journey.

Johannes comment

Small hill temple overlooking the plain with vivid Shinto–Buddhist syncretism. Nearby Inari Jinja feels like part of the complex and serves as the okuno-in. Often paired logistically with Temple 42.

Who is Johannes?

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.
