Description

Hoanji, a Shingon Buddhist temple founded in 1923 to memorialize the Hata clan, has more than one hundred Buddhist images carved into its great cliff face, including a reclining Shaka Buddha, Fudo Myoo, and Kobo Daishi. The images form part of a New Shikoku 88-Site Pilgrimage. Its central reclining Shaka is a relief approximately 10 m long, consecrated on February 12, 1952. Visitors can view the reclining Buddha outdoors and enjoy azaleas in spring and hydrangeas in early summer within the temple grounds.
