An ancient temple of the Rinzai sect.
This Zen Temple was founded in 1322 by 弧峰覚明 Koho Kakumyo (三光国師 Sanko Kokushi)
and is one of the oldest Zen temples in the Izumo region.
This is where Emperor Go-Daigo offered his prayers.
It has a number of cultural properties, such as a four-pillared gate with a gabled roof (Shikyakumon)
and 高麗梵鐘 a Korean copper bell, and there is a dry landscape garden of about 33,000 square meters behind the prients' chambers.
The quiet surroundings may make this place appear a rigid Zen temple,
but the azaleas that bloom in May are a sight to behold.

A Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple that is counted among of the oldest Zen temples in the Izumo region.
It was founded in 1322 by the priest Koho Kakumyo who had earned the trust of Emperor Godaigo and Emperor Gomurakami.
The precious large shikyakumon four-pillared gate at the end of the pine tree lined approach dates from the 1300s and escaped fires, helping it survive to the present day.

The precincts are also home to one of the prefecture's few Korean bells.
The temple is also a popular spot for viewing azaleas; the site of hundreds of them blooming together is superb.

Jizooji 地蔵寺 Jizo-Ji, Itano
無尽山 Mujinzan　荘厳院　Yogo-In 地蔵寺 Jizo-Ji

徳島県板野郡板野町羅漢字林東5 / Tokushima, Itano district, Itano town, Hayashi-Higashi

- quote
Jizō-ji is temple No. 5 on the Shikoku pilgrimage, or Henro.
It stands in an old residential area at the border of the Tokushima rift valley and the foothills of the Sanuki Mountains.
The long pedestrian approach is bordered by pines and cherry trees which are beautiful in spring. The path passes through a pair of stone columns before reaching the simple main gate. The temple guardians are cartoonlike figures in bright colours, and their eyes are a bit too close together.
Beyond the gate, there is a spacious plaza dominated by a big, knobbly gingko tree which is over 800 years old.
To the right is a statue of Kūkai on the pilgrimage and a simple raised belfry.
Next is the small Awashima Hall, home of the alter ego of the guardian deity of Awashima Shrine in Wakayama Prefecture, who cures all illnesses.
The Daishi Hall is large and splendid, and unusual for its brightly painted wood carvings of animals.
Near the Daishi Hall is a bronze seated Buddha.
Buildings on the north side include the Nokyosho and a hexagonal building housing a golden Kannon statue.
There's also a water harp that mimics the sound of the instrument called koto.
Facing the Daishi Hall is the Main Hall. The principal image is 勝軍地蔵 a Shōgun Jizō statue. The Jizō is mounted on a horse wearing armour, with a staff in his right hand and a jewel in his left hand. He drives out wrongdoers and prevents disasters. On the left side of the temple veranda sits a pensive-looking Binzuru statue.
Behind the Daishi Hall, a path leads past an old cemetery and up some stone steps to the Inner Sanctuary, which is big enough to be its own major temple compound. From the top of the steps, you can look down on the temple and the Tokushima rift valley beyond.
The Inner Sancturay is called the Rakan Hall. It's an elongated U-shaped building housing life-sized statues of 500 rakan, or arhats, semi-enlightened followers of Buddha.
It also houses a magnificent, larger than life statue of Kūkai.
- History
Kūkai founded the temple in 821 at the request of Emperor Saga.
He carved a Shōgun Jizō statue of about 5.5 cm and enshrined it in the principal image. After that, the imperial family visited the temple devotedly for three generations.
Due to their faith in the Shōgun Jizō, military commanders such as Minamoto no Yoritomo, Yoshitsune, and the Hachisuka clan made many donations to the temple. With these donations, the territory of the temple was expanded, and there were about 300 branch temples in the provinces of Awa, Sanuki, and Iyo. However, during Chōsokabe Motochika's unification of Shikoku, the Jizō-ji Temple was burned down.
After that, Jizō-ji was rebuilt and expanded by the efforts of successive priests, monks, and believers, and the temple compound is still extensive.
The Rakan Hall was built in 1775 by two brothers who were priests of the temple.
However, it was damaged by fire in 1915 and rebuilt in 1922, and now only around two hundred of the statues remain.

Jōkan Shōnin, who was the officiating priest of the Kumano Gongen in Kīshū, carved a statue of the Enmei Jizō in a sacred tree here, and Kūkai placed a statue he carved in its belly.

Kiyomizu Temple
Kiyomizu Temple was founded in 587AD.
The main deity is the 11-headed Kannon, who many people believe has the power to drive out evil spirits. As such, people who are said to be in their unlucky year come and pray here.
The main symbol of the temple is the three-storey pagoda, the only one in the San-in region of Japan.
The name Kiyomizu means pure water, and a mountain stream flows along the moss-covered stone steps on the long approach.

Along the way is Iwa-fudo-san, the immovable stone deity.
He watches over people coming to worship and drives away evil.
Near the top a statue of Kannon awaits the worshippers, welcoming them to the temple with her serene presence.
