まさ in the last week
Unusually, 88 locations in Shikoku are gathered in two locations. Located in a corner of the famous Kotohiro Park, you can reach the parking lot by following the signboard. There are some stairs, but they don't bother me. You can walk.

Easily accessible in town, nice and quiet in the early morning when I visited.

Kannonji is the name of this temple, as well as the city in which it was built. This temple is a bit rustic, well-worn, and warm with wood forms, polished by hand and feet over time. During the Mongol invasion the Emperor Kameyama came here to pray for deliverance. Kannonji is the temple to pray in for victory over your enemies, and for safety at home.
