History

This temple was founded by Gyōki during the mid-8th century; however, it was moved to its present location in 1633. In 1921, Frederick Starr, an anthropology professor from the University of Chicago, visited this temple and was shown the oldest bronze nameplate (osamefuda) that exists along the Shikoku Pilgrimage route. (Not available for public viewing) To the left of the Daishi hall is a lantern on which is carved a statue of Mary, disguised as Kannon, which would have been worshiped by the hidden Christians.
