四国八十八カ所霊場の第三十八番札所。本尊は、弘法大師が作ったとされる千手観世音菩薩。嵯峨天皇の命で弘法大師が建立した。酷暑のなか第三十七番札所の岩本寺から80キロの難行だった。四国の札所で最も南にあり気候は亜熱帯。足摺岬も近い。境内の睡蓮の白さが目に沁みた。
That is the 38th temple of Shikoku 88temple pilgrimage. The lord is the Senjukanzeonbosatsu that is reported to have been created by Kobo Daishi. It was also built by Kobo Daishi under the order of Emperor Saga. It was hard to walk in the scorching heat as the temple was 80 kilometers away from the No. 37th temple, Iwamotoji. It is located in the southernmost of Shikoku 88temple pilgrimage,and the climate is subtropical. It is also close to Ashizuri Cape. The whiteness of water lilies in the precincts was beautiful.
