    Built by Gyōgi on the orders of Emperor Shōmu in 741 along with the State Temples in each of the other 66 provinces. The honzon is also attributed to Gyōgi. Kōbō Daishi is said to have stayed here and to have done a painting of five great deities for this temple. His disciple Prince Shinnyo stayed here for two years and copied the Lotus Sutra.

    Of interest is the temple museum, its old manuscripts, and more. The Tennō-matsu is said to have been planted by Emperor Shōmu as a prayer for cure (a cure for what?). The grave of Nitta Yoshisada is here (famous for helping overthrow the Hōjō at the end of the Kamakura Period). This is the only temple on the pilgrimage from the Shingon Ritsu Sect.

    There is one official state temple in each province, and these are: Temple 15 (Awa/Tokushima), Temple 29 (Tosa/Kōchi), Temple 59 (Iyo/Ehime), and Temple 80 (Sanuki/Kagawa).

ABOUT STORY

The 59th temple is Iyo Kokubun-ji (Iyo Kokubunji).

The distance from the previous temple (60th) is 27.0km.

 

Iyo Kokubun-ji has no gate, and if you go up this stairs, you will reach the main hall.

A temple without a gate feels disappointing, but it can’t be helped.

 

This is the main hall of Iyo Kokubun-ji. Yakushi Nyorai is enshrined.

Perhaps because of the good weather, there are many other pilgrims, and the sutras are also strong.

 

Next, he will recite the Heart Sutra at the hall with an enshrined statue of Kobo Daishi.

We pray for the safety of our friends, partners and family and the peace of the world.

 

You can shake hands with Kobo Daishi and make only one wish.

It is interesting that two or three cannot be fulfilled because Kobo Daishi is also busy.

 

Since the god of medicine is enshrined in this temple, a stone statue of a pot of medicine is placed.
