Hachiyo-zan Zenjibu-ji Temple

4.5

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.

小高い山の上にあるので天気が良ければ土佐湾がきれいにみられるようですが、自分が訪問した時は生憎の雨模様で台風接近に伴い白波もたっており、ゴーゴーと音を立てていました。霊場だけあって厳かな雰囲気でした。

第３２番札所禅師峰寺。今回はここが最終地点です。境内からは普段土佐湾が一望できるようですがあいにくの雨で景色は見れませんでした。駐車場から境内までは石段で登りますが雨の日はすべりやすいので注意が必要です。
