Ido-ji
日本、〒779-3118 徳島県徳島市国府町井戸北屋敷８０−１
A temple of the Shonon-ji branch of the Shingon sect, serving as the 17th station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage and the 33rd station of the Awa Nishi-koku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage. It houses the National Important Cultural Property, the standing statue of the Eleven-Faced Kannon, and the Nisshin Daishi-do hall, which enshrines a well said to have been dug by Kukai.
History
Founded in 673 CE as a temple commissioned by Emperor Tenmu, it was originally named Myozou-ji. In 795 CE (Kounin 6), Kukai visited the site, enshrined the Eleven-Faced Kannon Bodhisattva, and dug a well in the water-scarce area, leading to its renaming as Ido-ji. After suffering repeated destruction by fire during wars, it was revived by the Hachisuka clan and received its current official name in 1916 CE (Taisho 5).
