No.83 Jingōzan Daihōin Ichinomiyaji
Set amid rice fields, this tranquil temple features Niō statues attributed to Akao Ukyo. The principal image is a sacred Kannon said to be carved by Kūkai. The “Hell’s Cauldron” at the base of a great camphor tree is a folk-belief spot said to emit mysterious sounds, blending local tradition with Buddhist 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
Outskirts of Takamatsu; the temple itself is plain and a bit of a detour. Absolute must: Tamura Shrine next door (~50 m east)—spectacular ‘deluxe’ shrine experience (often mistaken as okuno-in but not official). Consider staying in Takamatsu for food/hotels; route to 84 is very urban and unpleasant—public transport is reasonable.
