    In 651, En no Gyōja carved a statue of Zaō Gongen (a Shintō Kami) and founded this temple. Kōbō Daishi came here later and carved the honzon of Dainichi Nyorai, into which he placed the statue of Zaō Gongen. (Some say that the honzon was carved by Gyōgi.)

    The temple was originally an affiliated temple of the holy mountain Ishizuchi-san, which was worshipped as a Shintō Kami. By law, however, it became an independent Buddhist temple in 1869 at the start of the Meiji Period.

    This temple is still considered the most difficult nansho on the pilgrimage because it is located at 2,340 ft (709 metes).

ABOUT STORY

The 60th temple is Yokomine-ji.

The distance from the previous temple (61st) is 9.5km.

 

The entrance to Yokomine-ji.

 

Along the way, there was a thankful word, “The path to improvement can be opened by observing the mistakes obediently.”

 

This is the main hall of Yokomine-ji. Dainichi Nyora is enshrined.

My sutras echo around in a quiet precinct with nobody.

 

He recites the Heart Sutra at the hall with an enshrined statue of Kobo Daishi, which is small but has a strong presence.

I prayed for the safety of my family, the peace of the world, and the happiness of my close friends.

 

The dam I saw on the way to the next temple. The contrast between light and shadow is beautiful.

Let’s say we stay overnight in a place where we can see this dam today.
