No.70 Shippōzan Jihōin Motoyamaji
Home to a National Treasure main hall built about 700 years ago, showcasing medieval Japanese architectural excellence. Relocated gates and a five-storied pagoda enhance the dignified landscape. The legend of “Tachi-uke no Amida,” associated with Amida Nyorai, adds to the temple’s aura of faith and history.
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.

Main deity Batō Kannon; only 88 temple also in Fudō Myōō 36 pilgrimage. Large pagoda. Okuno-in Myōon-ji ~1 km NE, association-rich site just off main route. Halows supermarket before bridge approach.
