No.6 Onsen-zan Rurikōin Anrakuji
A historic temple in Kamiita, Tokushima. A two-story gate of white plaster and fine ornamentation welcomes you. Inside the main hall is a Yakushi Nyorai image linked to legends of healing. The temple is also known for “the Reverse Pine” associated with Kōbō Daishi and long revered for warding off misfortune. With shukubō lodging as well, it remains a valued resting point for pilgrims.
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
Explore the tsuyadō under the bell tower even if not staying overnight (very atmospheric, but mosquito‑heavy at night). Sesame ice cream shop near the gate; Ipoipodō pilgrim shop and RV parking at the main lot. Excellent logistical endpoint for the first walking day if you start early.
