This place is good at business ♡ There are tin badges that can only be bought here, tote bags that I have only seen here, and magnetic stickers to put on cars, all of which have great designs, and there is also a gassho calico cat amulet. There are two versions, and the Shiba Inu version is sold out. I wanted to see it... "This world is worth living in. Your life is worth living. "I'm really impressed by the straight words that I don't usually use.

"Takamatsu City: Kokubunji" Visited in January 2024. There are many things to see. The official name is ``80th Temple Hakugyuzan Senjuin Kokubunji.'' The entire area of ​​the former precincts is the only special national historical site in Shikoku. The temple retains many of the remains of its founding in the Nara period, and the main hall was rebuilt in the middle of the Kamakura period. In addition, in the center of the precincts, 33 cornerstones of the main hall from the time of its founding are scattered around, and the size is comparable to the current main hall of Toshodaiji Temple. In addition, the foundation stone of a seven-story pagoda remains on the right after entering the Sanmon gate, and it is estimated that if it existed today, it would have been a larger pagoda than the five-story pagoda of Toji Temple in Kyoto. The temple was founded during the era of Emperor Shomu. It was founded by Gyoki Bodhisattva who received an imperial order. Later, during the Konin era (810-823), Kobo Daishi repaired the principal image of the Senju Kannon statue and established it as a sacred place, but most of the temple and pagoda were destroyed by the Tensho War. There is a record that it was a branch temple of Saidaiji in the Kamakura period, and the current main hall was built around that time, and after that, it received the patronage of the Ikoma clan and the Matsudaira clan, the lords of the Takamatsu domain, and has continued to this day. This temple is also famous for the oldest temple bell in Shikoku. There is a legend that a large snake was wearing it, as well as the following anecdote. ``Ikoma Kazumasa, a feudal lord in the early Edo period, acquired this bell in exchange for one town of land, intending to use it as the bell for Takamatsu Castle. However, when we tried to transport it to the castle, it turned out that we needed a lot more people and horses than we expected. Moreover, as soon as we arrived at the castle, there was no sound, and to make matters worse, a bad disease was spreading in the castle town (omitted).'' ``And then, every night, a bell appeared next to Kazumasa's bedside as he himself fell ill and cried, ``I want to go back to my hometown.'' In the end, the bell was returned to Kokubunji. Unlike the time when the bell was brought to the castle, for some reason it was carried easily by a small number of people, and as soon as the bell returned to Kokubunji, the illness subsided and the bell began to make its beautiful sound again. ” This is an anecdote. .

This is Kokubunji Temple, the 80th of the 88 temples in Shikoku. The principal images of all 88 shrines are lined up, allowing you to take a short tour of all 88 shrines. It's fun just to go around and remember the places you've been before. There are also statues of the Seven Lucky Gods. While it is a wonderful facility, there is a sign that says there is a 200 yen donation for entering the mountain, a 100 yen donation for ringing the bell, and there are offering boxes placed everywhere, all of which encourage people to make offerings.

This is a beautiful area to explore and enjoy. The temples seem a little subdued, but if you come to the main temple a 16 foot statue of Kannon is within. That alone will be worth the trip. Gorgeous.
