Zentsuji
Zentsuji Temple is one of the most important temples on the Shikoku Pilgrimage and is widely known as the birthplace of Kukai (Kobo Daishi), the founder of Shingon Buddhism. The temple complex consists of two main precincts, including the historic main hall and the Mieido Hall dedicated to Kukai. As an active place of worship, it attracts both pilgrims and visitors seeking spiritual reflection. With its deep connection to pilgrimage culture and over 1,200 years of history, Zentsuji offers a rare opportunity to experience living Buddhist traditions in Japan.
