No.79 Kinkazan Kōshōin Tennoji
Facing the Seto Inland Sea, this temple is marked by a rare vermilion triple torii gate instead of a conventional temple gate, symbolizing sacred boundaries. Pilgrims practice a unique “two-sided worship,” praying at both the front and back of the main hall. The coexistence of Shinto and Buddhist elements offers insight into Japan’s syncretic religious worldview.
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
Very confusing layout; torii at gate makes it feel like a Shinto shrine. Clockwise walkers enter from the back and often can’t find Nokyōchō; stamp office is by the parking area (may require detour around walls). Two okuno-in (one close on route, one far); Henro house nearby; odd/strange energy.
