Walking across the small bridge from the parking lot, I was surprised at how spacious Zentsuji is... I walked straight ahead, glancing at the shops from the side. Many people had come to pray at the main hall, and the smoke from incense was billowing. On the way, I looked to the side of the road that crossed the premises and saw several customers buying hard bread. It was a very hard bread that lasted for about a month. 📍"Zentsuji" Zentsuji City, Kagawa Prefecture #Free Spot #Summer Trip#Amazing View

Shikoku is the hometown of Kukai, the Great Master of Buddhism, and Zentsuji Temple is the birthplace of Kukai. Many tourists visit Zentsuji Temple as a pilgrimage site during the Shikoku Pilgrimage to pay their respects. Among the 88 sacred sites in Shikoku, sites 1 to 88 all have deep connections with Kobo Daishi. Kobo Daishi was born in Zentsuji, the 75th temple. You may think this number is strange, but the pilgrimage starts from Tokushima, passes through Kochi, Ehime, and finally reaches Kagawa, connecting all the prefectures of Shikoku into one "yen", which has nothing to do with the number. The pilgrimage does not need to be carried out according to the numbering. Those coming from afar can also start the pilgrimage from Zentsuji Temple. Among the 88 sacred sites in Shikoku, some are hidden in the hills or on the top of the mountain, some are on the coastline and beside the river, and some are hidden in the bamboo forest. All of them are places worth visiting. #ChristmasDestinations2024

DAY 31: Fun in Zentsuji Temple City Zentsuji City is one of the three holy places in Shikoku. It is the birthplace of Kobo Daishi. This year coincides with the 1,250th anniversary of the birth of Daishi. During this period, everyone who visits the sutras has special bead seals to collect, and I also bought them here. The cassock that is exclusive to Zentsuji Temple will be used as a worship item to fulfill your wishes at the 88th Temple. Departing from the hotel in the early morning, we planned to visit the scenic spots near the city. In the 31st year of Meiji, "Nogikan" was the headquarters of the 11th Army Division. Today, historical relics from that time are still preserved for tourists to visit. Nogikanori is The first division commander served from October 31 to May 34. During this period, he was stationed at Zentsuji base, so this building is called "Nogikan". The items displayed in the museum include: old army weapons, old army The 11th Division's related materials, records of past division commanders, division commander's office and reception room, old army and navy related materials (Sundew War, Pacific War and Kamikaze...etc.), Self-Defense Forces related materials, the collection is quite large. It is rich and will be accompanied by a dedicated tour guide. It is currently the residence of the 14th Brigade of the Ground Self-Defense Force. There are guards standing guard at the door. You can enter by simply filling in the registration book. In addition, there are Kagawa Prefecture's "Gokoku Shrine" and the famous "Ofuyama Tumulus" nearby. This tumulus is the first keyhole-shaped tumulus discovered in Shikoku. It was built in the early sixth century. There is an iron gate at the entrance, so you can't go inside, but you can climb the stone stairs to the top of the ancient tomb and you can see the fire on the mountain, Nakayama, Mt. Osamu, Mt. Hoshi, Mt. Zentsuji, the five-story pagoda of Zentsu-ji Temple, Sanuki Fuji and Se The Todohashi Bridge is in full view.

DAY 30: There are often friends who are interested in pilgrimage, but cannot spare a long time. If they want to experience the feeling of pilgrimage in one day, I would recommend the part of yesterday and today's itinerary, which is from No. 71 Mitaniji Temple to No. 77 Doryuji Temple. The total length is only 16 kilometers, and the distance between temples is about 300 meters to 5 kilometers. In this journey, only No. 71 to No. 72 has a downhill slope, and there is a small hill slope between No. 72 and No. 73. Most of the other roads are asphalt roads in the city. Along the way, you can also visit the Haiku Tea House below No. 71, and you can also visit No. 75 Zentsuji Temple (the largest of the 88, and one of the three major sacred sites of Kobo Daishi), which is very suitable for sightseeing purposes. For transportation, you can take the Yosan Line to Mino Station and walk 3.3 kilometers to reach Mitani Temple. At the end, walk about 1.2 kilometers from Doryuji Temple to Tadotsu Station on the Yosan Line. Friends who are interested in experiencing it can give it a try. After the walk, don't forget to eat a bowl of delicious Sanuki Oolong as a reward for yourself. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

DAY 29: Yesterday, I visited the 12th to 15th of the Bekko Shrines. I rode eastward from Ehime Prefecture to Miyoshi City in Tokushima Prefecture. Today, I returned northward from Tokushima Prefecture to Kagawa Prefecture, continuing the journey of "Kagawa Nirvana Dojo" with Kobo Daishi and his companions. The first stop was to challenge the most difficult shrine among the Shikoku Shrines - Unbeji Temple (900 meters above sea level). When the weather is clear, you can see the scenery of Tokushima, Kochi and Takamatsu from afar, and you can also see the Kenzan and Ishizuchi mountain ranges. Today's worship itinerary was successfully completed with the solemn back of Kobo Daishi and the scenery of the village of Zentsuji City. When ringing the bell of happiness at Deshakaji Okunoin, I also truly realized what "happiness" is. In fact, it is not "having" but "not having". In the past, I always interpreted happiness as what I "have": having a car, a house, money, and power. But happiness is actually "nothing": no worries, no concerns, no illness, no disasters. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

🎏 Zentsuji, located at 3-3-1 Zentsujicho, Zentsuji City, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, is a temple established by Kobo Daishi, the founder of the Shingon sect, upon his return from China in 807 at his birthplace. Along with Kyoto's To-ji and Koyasan in Wakayama Prefecture, it is one of the three great historical sites associated with Kobo Daishi. Additionally, it is the seventy-fifth location of the Shikoku Pilgrimage's eighty-eight sacred sites. The temple has a history of 1200 years and is part of the pilgrimage route, featuring a magnificent bell tower. The entire site is quite large, and the ancient camphor trees, some over a thousand years old, are also quite impressive. The Aoyama across from Zentsuji (see photos 11 and 12) is also a popular hiking spot.

Zentsuji in Kagawa Prefecture. Although the temple is well known, it is quiet and not crowded. The nearby Kumaoka Confectionery Store is a must-visit shop. Its specialty is hardtack, which was developed as a preserved food during the Sino-Japanese War. It is harder than you'd imagine, and it feels like you're eating a rock. There are various types, including stone bread, square bread, and round bread, and they are all so hard you might break your teeth. As a vestige of the former army, there is still a Japan Ground Self-Defense Force garrison here, and when you see the well-maintained streets and well-equipped public facilities, you realize that it is a key point in national defense.
