  • Additional Information: 

    Temples 13 through 17 are all in Tokushima City or on its outskirts, on the opposite side of the valley from where you were walking when you visited the first 10 temples. As you approach Temple 13 (or Temple 16 if you are coming from Bangai Temple 2) the traffic and noise once again become a nuisance.

    Like Temple 4, this temple is also called Dainichiji. It was founded by Kōbō Daishi in accordance with an oracle he received from Dainichi Nyorai while performing a goma ceremony here. Until its destruction by fire in the 16th century (probably the work of Chōsokabe and his men), it was associated with the Ichinomiya Shintō Shrine, across the street. The two were officially separated during the persecution of Buddhism at the beginning of the Meiji Period. The current restoration was built in the later part of the Meiji Period.

    There are two statues of Dainichi here, one carved by Kōbō Daishi and the other carved by Gyōgi. The one by Gyōgi is housed in the shrine across the street.
