No.48 Kiyotakizan Anyōin Sairinji
A quiet temple amid Matsuyama’s fields, entered by crossing a small stream. Legends claim the Niō Gate connects to “Avīci Hell,” adding a unique edge to the site. The principal image—Eleven-Faced Kannon—is said to be carved by Gyōki, and there’s a custom of worshiping from the rear. Nearby, the famed spring “Tsue no Fuchi” is linked to Kōbō Daishi; the sound of clear water refreshes the heart.
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
Main deity is Jūichimen Kannon (hibutsu, never shown), enshrined facing backward—pilgrims circle behind the main hall to pray. Okuno-in is in nearby Jō-no-Fuji Park: a small Daishidō on a pond, said to have healing water made by Kūkai; pilgrims often reach this park/okuno-in before the main temple when walking clockwise. Temple also has a small manicured garden and koi pond with healing-water feel.
