Kanzaiji Temple
日本、〒798-4110 愛媛県南宇和郡愛南町御荘平城２２５３−１
A temple belonging to the Daikakuji branch of the Shingon sect, also known as Heijo-san and Yakushi-in. It is the 40th station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. Because it is the station farthest from the first temple, it is referred to as the 'Back Gate of the Shikoku Sacred Sites.'
History
It is said to have been founded in 807 CE (Daido 2) by Kukai by imperial decree from Emperor Heijo. In the early Edo period, it received the name Yakushi-in from Prince Kosei-ho of Kyoto and also became an imperial edict temple for the Uwaji Domain. Although it was once destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt in 1678 CE (Enpo 6) and has since undergone multiple fires to reach its current form.

The temple grounds are spacious and suitable for a leisurely stroll. The parking lot is large and located along the path leading to the main gate. The main hall is a modern reconstruction and houses a prayer registration office, a shop, and an area for purchasing omamori (protective amulets). The grounds also feature charming sights, such as a statue of a tanuki (raccoon dog) and a stone statue of a frog.
