No.72 Gabaishizan Enmein Mandaraji
Located at the foot of Mt. Gohashi, this temple enshrines Dainichi Nyorai, symbolizing the cosmic Buddha. The Daishidō honors Kūkai, who is said to have visited to pray for his mother. A Heian-period Kannon statue and tranquil rural setting offer a reflective pause for pilgrims.
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
Mandara-ji (‘Temple of the Mandala’). Open, somewhat understated energy. Route can be confusing between 72 and 73; better to consciously enter via main gate and visit T73 before to have a better flow.
