Jodoji Temple 49 Ohenro Shikoku Pilgrimage
In the middle of the 10th century a famous, itinerant, philanthropist monk, Kuya Shonin, spent three years here helping the local people. Before he left he carved a statue of himself that is now an Important Cultural Property.
In the early 15th century much was burned down and was later restored by the local Kono Clan.

Tenno-in Temple 36 Sasaguri Pilgrimage
Specifically, the honzon is a Namikiri Fudo, a "wave^cutting" Fudo. According to the legend, on his return journey from China in 806, the boat Kobo Daishi was in was in danger of being sunk by stormy seas but was saved by prayers to Fudo.
Tenno-in has a large Hydrangea Garden and the grounds are planted with lots of Japanese Maple so is ablaze with color in the autumn. It also has a small zen garden and teahouse.
