The principal image of the Thousand-armed Kannon Bosatsu is said to have been carved by a daughter of the Sea-dragon King. There is also a legend that Abo sennin, a monk who maintained the Shichidogaran (seven important buildings in a temple) for over 40 years, suddenly disappeared. In the precinct, there are okajimizu where Kobo daishi treated several diseases and a gorinto to pray for the soul of Yurenshonin, a prelate in the Meiji period (1868-1912). A lodge in the precinct which has a natural hot spring is also available for tourists to stay.

紙の町川之江らしい博物館です。入場無料ということもあり、近くを通った際にふらりと立ち寄りました。紙だけに関する資料館なので、あまり期待していなかったのですが、良い意味で裏切られました。紙って奥深いものだと感心しました。また、最近はコロナと関係で「不織布」に対する感心が高まりましたが、そういったことも知ることができました。紙製品も販売していますので、お土産に紙製品というのも良いと思います。

お城の工場見学に参加しました。入場料1000円は少し高いですが、焼き肉のたれなどのお土産がついてきます。宮殿の中に工場があるのでとてもシュールです。説明も丁寧ですが、若干駆け足です。せっかく説明パネルがたくさんあって面白そうなのに見られなかったのが少し残念でした。

Ehime Minamiuwa-gun Ainancho Misho Heijo 5688

An observatory located in Baseyama Park at the base of the Nishiumi Peninsula. The observation deck both revolves and goes up and down, rising and falling between 107 meters and 260 meters above sea level while slowly rotating. During the ride, visitors can get a sweeping view of Misho Bay and the ria coast of the Uwa Sea. In springtime, visitors can also enjoy the pink cherry blossoms in full bloom in the park right under the observatory. The observatory is two stories and its cabin is also worth checking out. This type of observatory is extremely rare and unusual - there are only two in all of Japan, the other being in Niigata Prefecture.

ガラス張りの空間の中に乗り込み、回転しながら上昇します。座って外を眺めるように作られていますが、立ったまま見ると、より迫力があります。宇和海を360度見渡せるので、独り占めした気分になります。

Ehime Pref. Ozushi Toyoshige-otsu 1

This ancient temple was founded in 718 A.D. and is No. 7 of the 20 Shikoku Bekkaku temples on pilgrimage rote; together with the 88 sacred places on the Shikoku Pilgrimage, these two pilgrimages make up the pilgrimage which help pilgrims get rid of 108 kleshas (In Buddhism, people are said to have 108 earthly desires). Located atop Mt. Izushi in Setonaikai National Park, the temple name is affixed to the mountain name, leading to it being called the Kinzan Shussekiji Temple. On clear days you can look out from the main hall past Cape Sada, as far as Oita Prefecture, and even see Mt. Ishizuchi and the Shikoku Mountains. During the early morning in the fall and winter, there are days when you can watch the sun ascend from a sea of clouds.

ここは１３００年の縁起を有する別格霊場第７番札所です。珍しく事後に大師が巡錫したと云う部分以外は空海の「色」が薄い寺院です。その意味では異色で良い寺院です。本堂も独特の様式で変わった、印象深い建物です。道教法師が開かれた真言宗御室派の千手観音を本尊とする歴史ある遍路寺でした。寺の格としてはたった半世紀そこそこの歴史しかない別格霊場に組み込まれているのは気の毒とさえ感じた。
