I think it’s interesting or rather strange that the inner shrine is appeared before the main temple even though I’m following the “official” pilgrimage route. For example, today, I reached Jizo-ji (the inner shrine of No.86 Shido-ji) before Shido-ji, and now I reached Gyokusen-ji (the inner shrine of No.87 Nagao-ji) before Nagao-ji 🙂


The temple grounds are not large, but there is wisteria trellis in front of the main temple, which must be beautiful when it is in bloom. And I can also find “新四国曼荼羅霊場 (New Shikoku Mandara sacred temple)” on the board, so this temple is part of yet another pilgrimage route like the one I found in Ehime.
