Below is a proposed structure for an article introducing Dainichi-ji Temple in Konan City, Kochi Prefecture.

The Serene Dainichi-ji Temple, the 28th Temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage

Standing Majestically Beyond the Mountain Gate, the Solemn Main Hall

Dainichi-ji Temple, reached after climbing a narrow mountain path, awaits beyond the vermillion mountain gate, surrounded by greenery. The main hall exudes a tranquil atmosphere, guiding visitors' hearts to serenity.

Sensing the Timelessness of the Daishido Hall

Next to the main hall stands the Daishido Hall, a place where pilgrims once took a rest, exuding an aura of long history. Inside, visitors can leisurely admire the waka poems composed by pilgrims.

Welcomed by the Warm Hospitality of the Resident Priest

Visitors to Dainichi-ji Temple are warmly welcomed by the resident priest and gatekeeper. They may be offered tea, given explanations of the facilities, and enjoy a luxurious experience. At the stamp office, they can even learn about the essentials of pilgrimage.

Comprehensive Access Information

Accessing Dainichi-ji Temple by car is convenient. Although there are a few steps to climb from the parking lot to the main hall, it is not overly challenging. When touring Shikoku, be sure to stop by Dainichi-ji Temple and spend some quiet time there.

Climb the narrow road to the parking lot! There is a gate right next to it, and if you climb the stairs you will arrive at the compact precincts. The office is located a little far away, but you can get there if you follow the signboard.

I stayed in Konan City the day before and stopped by here. The temple grounds were quiet and had a warm atmosphere, perhaps due to the strength of the sun. After visiting the main hall, I went to the Nokyo-jo. We had toso (probably because it's almost New Year's Day?) and visited the Okunoin temple. The road is narrow and winding, so drive carefully.

It's a wonderful temple. I think it's one of the easiest temples in Kochi Prefecture to get to because the path isn't too steep and there aren't many stairs. There will be entertainment and coffee and tea will be provided. The people at the cashier's office are also kind ✨

Recently, the number of foreign pilgrims has increased, and they were chanting with enthusiasm on this day as well. I found a cat's footprints on the signboard of the company office. I looked around and found him relaxing on the second floor.
