Sairin-ji
日本、〒791-1111 愛媛県松山市高井町１００７
A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism, Sairin-ji is the 48th station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage and the 8th station of the Iyo 13 Buddha Pilgrimage. The principal image, the Eleven-Faced Kannon (Avalokiteshvara), is a hidden Buddha (hifutsu), and tradition holds that there was a custom of worshipping it from behind the main hall.
History
It is said that the temple was founded in 741 CE (Tenpyo 13) when Gyoji and Ochi Sukune Tamaki built the halls and carved the principal image, acting on an imperial edict from Emperor Shomu. In 807 CE (Doto 2), Kukai is said to have moved the temple to its current location and, to help the local people suffering from a drought, caused fresh water to spring from the well of the staff. After a fire in the late 17th century, parts of the temple were rebuilt in 1700 CE (Genroku 13) by Matsudaira Sadanao and others. After numerous subsequent restorations, it has taken on its current form.

What visitors say
The temple grounds are flat and well-maintained, with no stairs, making it easy for visitors with weak legs or knees to visit. There is a beautiful garden, allowing for worship in a calm atmosphere. The parking lot is located right next to the main gate, but because traffic in the surrounding area is heavy and visibility is poor in some spots, caution is required when entering and exiting by car.
