Jodoji (Pure Land Temple)
〒790-0925 愛媛県松山市鷹子町１１９８
A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism located in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture. It is the 49th station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage and the 2nd station of the Iyo 13 Buddha Pilgrimage.
History
According to tradition, the temple was founded by the high priest Emyo during the Tenpyo Shoho period (749–757 CE) under an imperial edict from Empress Koken. A statue of Shaka Nyorai (the historical Buddha) carved by the monk Hoki was enshrined there. Originally a temple of the Hosso school, it converted to the Shingon school when Kukai rebuilt the precincts. The current main hall, reconstructed in 1482 CE (Bunmei 14) by Kawano Michinobu, dates from that era.

What visitors say
This is a modest temple situated in a residential neighborhood, with a paid parking lot located just south of the main gate. The main hall houses a statue of the high priest Kuuya, which has become a topic of discussion on social media, but it is kept as a secret treasure and is not open to the general public. Goshuin (temple seal stamps) can be received at the sutra registration office located deep inside the eastern gate. Other pilgrimage stations are densely clustered in the surrounding area.
