Sankaku-ji, Buddhist temple in Shikokuchūō, Japan
The temple features wooden structures, traditional Japanese architectural elements, and a main hall dedicated to Buddhist ceremonies and meditation practices.
Established during the Nara period by the Buddhist monk Gyōki, Sankaku-ji became Temple 65 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, a significant route connecting sacred sites.
The temple maintains daily rituals where monks perform chanting ceremonies and visitors offer prayers at designated areas throughout the temple grounds.
Sankaku-ji welcomes visitors year-round and provides designated spaces for photography outside the main worship areas while maintaining respect for spiritual activities.
Located near the former site of Kawanoe Castle, this temple combines religious significance with connections to local feudal history through its proximity to historical fortifications.
