Pilgrimage Site No. 67: Daikouji Temple

日本、〒768-0101 香川県三豊市山本町辻4209

4.2(462)

A temple of the Shononji-branch of the Shingon sect located in Mima City, Kagawa Prefecture, and the 67th site of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. It is known as Komatsuo Mountain and Fudoukouin, with Medicine Buddha (Yakushi Nyorai) as its principal image.

History

Founded in the 14th year of Tenpyo (742 CE) as a branch temple of Todaiji, it later became a Tendai sect temple under the influence of Saicho. In the 13th year of Kounin (802 CE), Kukai revived it as a sacred site for the protection of Kumano Sansho Gongen, enshrining Medicine Buddha as the principal image, along with Fudo Myoo and Bishamonten as attendant deities. After suffering from military fires under Chosokabe Motochika and subsequent fires, the temple was rebuilt into its current form.
