Tsururin-ji

日本、〒771-4303 徳島県勝浦郡勝浦町生名鷲ケ尾14

4.3(618)

A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect and the 20th station of the Shikoku 88-temple pilgrimage. Locally known as 'O-Tsuru-san,' it is recognized as one of the difficult sites in the Awa region.

History

Traditionally founded in 798 CE (Enryaku 17) by Kukai at the imperial command of Emperor Kanmu. It is said that while Kukai was in training, he observed a male and female white crane guarding a statue of Jizo Bodhisattva. Because the scene resembled Vulture Peak, the temple was given its mountain name. The temple flourished through the patronage of Emperor Heisei, Emperor Saga, Minamoto no Yoritomo, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, and Hachisuka Nagayasu, the founding lord of the Tokushima Domain.

What visitors say

A free parking lot for visitors is located near the Niomon gate, from which the temple grounds can be reached on foot. Caution is required when driving due to steep slopes and narrow roads along the way. The grounds feature a magnificent, dynamic statue of a crane and are well-maintained, providing an easy walking environment. Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) can be received at the prayer register office located in the back of the Taishi-do hall.
