The 25th temple is Shinshō-ji(津照寺).

The distance from the previous temple (26th) is 3.8km.

The entrance to Shinshō-ji. It has a red color like the torii gate of a shrine, which does not seem to be the gate of a temple.

The stone steps leading to the main hall are long, and although you get tired just by climbing, it is very good for your health.

This is the main hall of Shinshō-ji. A rare Buddha called Kajitori Enmei Jizō Bosatsu is enshrined.

The building is a modern building that does not look like a temple.

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

He advocates the Heart Sutra while wishing for the safety of his family, the peace of the world, and the safety of his travels.

On the way to the next temple, there is a cave where Kobo Daishi trained and enlightened.

The cave on the cliff that is about to collapse is off limits. I also wanted to practice here, but I had no choice but to give up.
