History
The large temple grounds are covered with enormous trees which create a mystic atmosphere. This temple located on a mountain (618 m) is called Western Kōya-san because its buildings were constructed similar to those at Mt. Kōya. Kūkai states in his book Sangō Shiiki (798) that he spent time training here. In 1992, a ropeway was built to reach the summit. [Provided by Shikoku Japan 88 Route Guide]
