  • Additional Information: 

    The temple was founded by Gyōgi and the honzon was carved by him as well. Kōbō Daishi carved a statue of Yakushi Nyorai and dedicated it to the Okunoin of the temple. This was blown over in a storm in 1868 and, therefore, is now housed in a separate shrine.

    Many henro believe that this temple cures illnesses of the head and upper part of the body.

    The honzon of Dainichi Nyorai and the supporting image of Shō Kannon are considered National Treasures. Before the purge of Buddhist temples at the beginning of the Meiji Period, this temple had seven branch temples.

    It is written that Kōchi Prefecture is still the land of Shintoism, and this does in fact seem to be the case. As you walk through the prefecture you seem to see more shrines here than anywhere else on the trail.

The temple and the precincts were simple and beautiful, and I was able to chant the sutras without any thoughts.

 

There was also a bell with the sutra chanting in the temple.
