Mount Tairyūji, Buddhist temple complex on Mount Tairyūji, Anan, Japan

Mount Tairyūji rises 618 meters above sea level, featuring dense forests and steep slopes leading to the temple located at its summit.

The temple on Mount Tairyūji was established in 792 under Emperor Kanmu's reign and underwent reconstruction during the Edo period by the Hachisuka clan.

Temple number 21 of the Shikoku pilgrimage contains important Buddhist artifacts, including an image of Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva in its main hall.

The mountain is accessible via a modern ropeway system that operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with tickets costing 1,300 yen per direction.

The Kamomichi pilgrim path, stretching 4.4 kilometers between Kakurinji and Tairyūji, has received designation as a National Historical Site of Japan.
