善福寺

Zenpukuji Temple displays traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures, tatami mat interiors, and gardens demonstrating Buddhist design principles.

The temple originated in 773 at Matsugashima location before its transfer to the current site in 1588 by feudal lord Gamo Ujisato during Matsusaka Castle construction.

Visitors practice Osuna-fumi, a ritual enabling them to receive benefits equivalent to completing the entire Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage circuit.

The temple maintains regular opening hours during daylight time and provides clear guidelines for visitors regarding proper conduct within religious spaces.

A statue of Kobo Daishi stands at the temple where participants perform water offerings as part of religious observances.
