History

In 815, Kūkai stayed here and carved a statue of Jizō. This is one of the spiritual checkpoint (sekisho) temples. In 1803, a woman called Okyō from Shimane Prefecture, who, after killing her husband, came with her lover to Shikoku to make the pilgrimage. When she reached this temple, her hair got entwined in the bell-rope. She called for help and asked for repentance. This hair is on display to the right of the Daishi hall. The paintings on the ceiling of the Main Hall were done by the Tōkyō University of the Arts in 1977. [Provided by Shikoku Japan 88 Route Guide]
