Shushō-ji, Buddhist temple in Anan, Japan.

Shushō-ji is a Buddhist temple in Tokushima Prefecture featuring traditional architecture with meditation halls, ceremonial spaces, and gardens spread across its grounds. The layout allows visitors to move through different sections while experiencing the temple's physical structure and design.

The temple was originally built during the Konin period but was destroyed during the Tensho period and later reconstructed in the Kyoho era. These cycles of destruction and rebuilding shaped the temple's development over centuries.

The painting titled Autumn Grass displayed here holds official recognition as a tangible cultural property of Tokushima Prefecture. This artwork reflects the artistic tradition maintained within the temple and can be observed during your visit.

The grounds are accessible throughout the year, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace and experience different areas of the temple. On-site information helps orient yourself and understand the layout of the various sections.

This location serves as a stop on the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage route, attracting visitors from different regions who follow this spiritual journey. The main deity enshrined here is Yakushi Nyorai, known in Buddhist tradition as the King of Medicine.
