No.5 Mujinzan Shōgonin Jizoji
A warm, welcoming temple in Itano, Tokushima. At the center rises the “Tarachine Great Ginkgo,” over 800 years old—often described as embracing visitors like a mother. The principal image is famed for blessings for victory prayers and safe return. The Daishi Hall is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property. A five-minute walk leads to the Gohyaku Rakan Hall, where 200 rakan statues deepen the sense of history and faith.
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
Visit the hidden inner sanctuary north of the temple with the 500 Buddha statues before entering the main grounds. Simple, calm temple with a fine Kōbō Daishi statue and a large ginkgo tree. Toilets are near the stamp office in the northeast corner.
