    The temple was founded by Gyōgi in the early 8th century and originally named Keizan-mitsuin Taku-mokuji. Gyōgi is also credited with carving the honzon and it is now considered a National Treasure. A century later Kōbō Daishi visited the temple and after seven days of austerities brought forth a clear stream of water from the ground. The water formed a mirror-like pond so the temple's name was changed to Kyōchiin Kiyotakiji (Mirror-like Clear Waterfall Temple).

    Prince Takaoka (Shinyo Shinnō), one of Kōbō Daishi's ten disciples and the 3rd son of Emperor Heizei, came here and stayed more than a year. Takoaka had been expelled from the palace and cut off from royal privileges. Not waiting for the inevitable banishment, he came to Shikoku, made the temple his ancestral temple (Bodaisho), and built the 5 foot, five story pagoda.

    During this time he also prayed for success in a trip he was planning to India. Unfortunately, he died in Indochina on his way to India, without ever reaching there. (Legend says that he was eaten by a tiger in Laos but that his soul remains in the pagoda and protects the temple from misfortune.)

The entrance to Kiyotaki-ji. It is a pity that there is no gate in the temple and the parking lot is the entrance.

 

This is the main hall of Kiyotaki-ji. akushi Nyorai is enshrined.

 

This is the hall with an enshrined statue of Kobo Daishi.

It was a very quiet time, so I pray for safety and world peace by chanting sutras in a meditative state.

 

A large Buddha statue is set up in the precincts.

 

There is also water that springs from the mountains, and you can feel the blessings of nature.
