    On March 21, 703, Nisshō, a monk in the Yogacara School, had a vision here. Seven colorful clouds arose on the western horizon and hovered over the mountain of this temple (Mt. Kotohiki). Suddenly a ship floated on the sea and the god Hachiman appeared to Nissh( playing a Koto and said, I am the god Hachiman himself, and I will stay here to protect the Buddha's Dharma and the ruler's law.

    Nisshō dedicated the ship and its Koto to the temple. Later, Kōbō Daishi painted the Kotobiki (harp playing) Hachiman in the form of Amida Butsu and dedicated that to the temple as well. The picture of Amida is now a National Treasure. Kōbō Daishi is also attributed with having carved the honzon.

    Legend states that Gyōgi Bosatsu also stayed at this temple for a short period.

    Be sure to look down on Ariake beach from the lookout on the road above the temple and see the coin-shaped circle made of sand and originally built in 1633 in imitation of a coin of the Kanei period.

    ** Both this temple and Temple 69 are in the same compound and the nōkyōsho for both is at the same window.

ABOUT STORY

The 68th temple is Jinne-in.

The distance from the previous temple (69th temple) is 0.0 kilometers. There are two temples in the same location.

 

The entrance of Jinne-in. The design of the entrance is modern, with concrete structures, as it seems to be different from the typical temples based on its name.

 

As you enter, you can see the main hall of Jinne-in. It doesn’t have the typical appearance of a temple, but it enshrines Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) nonetheless.

 

This is the Daishi-do hall (hall with an enshrined statue of Kobo Daishi). It has a comforting atmosphere that gives a sense of being in a temple.

Recite the Heart Sutra, praying for the safety of your family and world peace.

 

Near the temple, there is an artwork on the nearby beach that depicts a massive Japanese antique coin measuring 345 meters.

I viewed it from a distant mountain and was amazed by its immense size and flawless craftsmanship.

It is said that seeing this artwork indicates a life free from financial troubles, but I’m still struggling in that regard.

The Goshuin seal of Jinne-in, the 68th temple. As it is not a traditional temple, the handwriting lacks beauty and motivation.

There are still 67 temples left to visit.

The distance to the next temple is 8.7 kilometers.
