Chikurinji Temple
〒781-8125 高知県高知市五台山３５７７
A Shingon Chisan-ha sect temple located on Mount Goze in Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture, and the 31st station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. The main image, the Bodhisattva Manjushri, is a secret Buddha (hifutsu) that is revealed to the public only once every fifty years.
History
It is said that the temple was established after Emperor Shomu had a dream, and the monk Gyoki sensed the site as a sacred place. During the Daian era, Kukai stayed at the temple. From the medieval period onward, it received strong support from the warrior class, and during the Edo period, it was patronized by the lords of the Tosa Domain, serving as the head temple of the Shingon sect in the region. The temple fell into disrepair during the Meiji era but was restored and its grounds were improved by the monk Funayama Yoshinobu.
