This Shingon temple on the slopes of Misen is crowded with Buddhist images, spinning prayer wheels, and sharp-beaked tengu demon statues that line the pathways. A cave contains images from each of the 88 Shikoku pilgrimage temples, meaning you can symbolically complete the entire pilgrimage in a few minutes. It's more playful and tactile than most Japanese temples, with an abundance of small statues wearing hand-knitted caps and a whimsical quality that delights visitors of all ages.
