Jizō-ji
板野町羅漢林東５
A temple of the Mishima-ha sect of Shingon Buddhism, Jizō-ji is the 5th station of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage and the 24th station of the Awa West Land 33 Kannon Pilgrimage. Five structures, including the main hall and the Fudō-dō (Hall of the Immovable King), are designated as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan.
History
It is traditionally said that in 821 CE (Kōnin 12), Kūkai personally carved the statue of Shōgun Jizō Bosatsu (Jizō Bodhisattva of the Victorious Army) and founded the temple. It was revived during the Edo period under the patronage of the Hachisuka clan, the feudal lords of Tokushima Domain.

What visitors say
The temple grounds feature a large ginkgo tree that is 800 years old, which is a highlight during the autumn foliage season. A row of plum trees lines the approach path, and the Oku-in (inner sanctuary) houses 500 Rakan (Arhats) with distinct facial expressions. Free parking for worshippers is available on the east and west sides of the Niō-mon (Lion Gate). Goshuin (temple seals) can be received at the Nōkyō-sho (scripture registration office) located to the northeast.
