    The Hachiyo-zan Zenjibu-ji Temple is the 32nd temple of the Shikoku 88-temple Pilgrimage. According to tradition, the Temple was founded by the bodhisattva Gyoki in the 8th century on the orders of Emperor Shomu, to pray for the safety of ships crossing the sea to and from Tosa. Later on, Kobo Daishi visited the site, and carved a statue of the bodhisattva Kannon with eleven faces to serve as the main object of veneration for the Temple. During the era when this region was administered as part of the Tosa domain, successive lords of the domain maintained a close relationship with the Zenjibu-ji Temple, coming here to pray for a safe journey whenever they had to travel by sea when returning to Edo to fulfill their responsibilities under the alternate attendance system (which required the lords of each domain to spend half of their time in Edo). The Temple is familiarly known as “Minen-ji” or “Mine-ji” by locals, because of its location on Mt. Mine.

    The Hokai-zan Dainichi-ji Temple is the 28th temple of the Shikoku 88-temple Pilgrimage. It was founded in the 8th century when the bodhisattva Gyoki carved a statue of the Dainichi-Nyorai Buddha to serve as the main object of veneration for the Temple. The Temple was later abandoned; according to tradition, it was reestablished when Kobo Daishi visited the site and carved a statue of the Bhaisajyaguru (Medicine Buddha) out of a large Camphor tree with his fingernails. The Temple’s statue of the Konzaikai Dainichi Nyorai Buddha in a seated posture, which is said to have been carved by the bodhisattva Gyoki, has been designated as a National Important Cultural Property. The Hon-do (main hall), the renovation of which was completed in 1997, is made entirely of wood, fitted together without requiring the use of a single nail.

    自分が宿泊していたホテルから近く、町中にあるお寺ですが雰囲気はよく、気持ちよく参拝できました。無料の駐車場もあります。

    This is a Shingon school Chisan-ha temple in Kokubu in Nankoku City, Kochi Prefecture and is 29th temple of the 88 sacred places on the Shikoku Pilgrimage. The entire grounds are designated as a national historic site. It is one of the 68 kokubunji temples that Emperor Shomu built across the country and was established with the thousand-armed kannon that Gyoki made himself in 741 as the principal object of worship. It was later restored by Kobo Daishi as a Shingon school temple. The main hall with its Tenpyo period-style exterior and its interior with features of the Muromachi period, the temple bell and the wooden statue of the Bhaisajyaguru are Nationally Important Cultural Properties. The garden with its beautiful hair moss is also a must-see.

    まわりは田んぼでのんびりした場所にある立派なお寺です。朝9時からお寺カフェでの抹茶や写経もできるようですが、自分が朝早く着いてしまい時間の都合上今回は体験していません。とてもいい雰囲気のお寺でしたので次回はこれらを体験しに再訪したいです。

    Kochi Nagaoka-gun Otoyo Cho Terauchi 314

    高知の山奥に四国の法隆寺と云われる国宝の寺があるとは、畏れ多いことです。724年創立とあり、歴史を感じるしっかりとした建物で、京都などとは違い無料で見学できるのは非常に有難い。ただ、国道から狭い山道を幾分不安を感じながら登る覚悟は必要です。

    Kochi Nagaoka-gun Otoyo Cho Terauchi 314
    Officially Otayama Daigan-in Burakuji Temple. It was reportedly founded by the famous monk Gyoki in 724. The temple is counted as one of Japan's three main temples dedicated to Yakushi, the Healing Buddha, along with Mine Yakushi at Horaiji Temple in Aichi Prefecture and Akaidake Yakushi at Jofukuji Temple in Fukushima Prefecture. Also called Shibaori Yakushi, the main temple's Yakushi hall has been designated as a National Treasure.

    この漢字で「ぶらくじ」と読みます。京都や奈良に比べると堂塔・仏像等についての国宝指定は四国には少ない、重文は多々あるものの。ここは薬師堂が国宝です。この堂宇は平安時代に建立された四国最古の堂宇です。３体の如来像、２体の菩薩像はそれぞれ重文指定されています。拝観は事前予約の上、一人５００円です。堂塔内に入らなければ境内は自由でした。ここが高知であり四国の破壊者兼放火魔の長曾我部に焼失させられなかった...

The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
