75th Pilgrimage Site: Zentsuji
〒765-0003 香川県善通寺市善通寺町３丁目３−１
This temple serves as the head temple of the Shingon Zentsuji sect of Buddhism. It consists of the West Court (Ninshoin), believed to be the birthplace of the Great Master Kobo Daishi (Kukai), and the East Court (Karan), the site of its original founding. It is designated as the 75th station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage.
History
Construction began in 807 CE (Doto 2) after Kukai's father, Saeki Tagyo, donated the land, and the temple was completed in 813 CE (Kahun 4). During the Kamakura period, the Ninshoin (Birth Temple) was established, finalizing the current layout of the East and West Courts. In 1941, it was elevated to the status of the head temple of the Shingon Zentsuji sect.
