Tozenji Temple 10 Shikoku Fudo Myoo Pilgrimage

 

27th December, 2016, and I begin day 7 of my walk along the Shikoku Fudo Myoo Pilgrimage at temple 10, Tozenji.

It is located in Ishii, between the mountains and the south bank of the Yoshino River, not too far from Awa Kokubunji Temple.

Since I visited, the main hall with the tin roof covering the thatch has been demolished and a new buiding built.

The temple was a branch of the famous Naritasan temple in Chiba but separated from it in 1905.

Naritasan seems to have major branch temples in most prefectures. This one was known as the Ofudo-san of the southern islands.

There was no signboard, no-one home when I visited, and I have been unable to find any other information in English or Japanese....

The previous post in this series on my walk along the Shikoku Fudo Myoo Pilgrimage was on the illuminations and art festival the evening before in Tokushima City.
