Temple
About

Nestled in greenery, this modest temple reflects Buddhist ideals of inner beauty and simplicity. The principal image, Yakushi Nyorai, is believed to be carved by Kūkai. A cave enshrining Bishamonten adds depth, and visitors enjoy finding sixteen hidden rabbit motifs in the roof tiles—an interplay of gentle fun and devotion.

Johannes comment

Cozy garden temple (‘Armored Mountain’) with Bishamonten okuno-in on grounds. Large rest area. Final quiet stage before Kobo Daishis birthplace at Temple 75.

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.
