Kichozu-ji
八幡浜市
A temple located in Yawatahama City, Ehime Prefecture, which was formerly designated as the 37th station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage.
History
Nohara Sadakazu, the fifth-generation head of the Daikuroya Kichibe merchant house, vowed to establish a new temple on land reclaimed through his own drainage projects. The temple was founded in 1885 CE (Meiji 18) with the invitation of the monk Chosui Jinrai. It was formerly designated as the 37th station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, but following a court ruling, the principal image and the sutra copying blocks were returned to Iwamoto-ji. The mountain name is derived from the family business name Daikuroya, and the temple name is taken from the name Kichozu of the third-generation head.
