Mount Tairyūji

Mount Tairyūji is a mountain with a Buddhist temple located at its summit, rising approximately 618 meters above sea level. The slopes feature thick forest coverage and steep terrain that leads up to the temple structures.

The temple was founded in 792 during the reign of Emperor Kanmu and represents one of the region's oldest religious establishments. The Hachisuka clan rebuilt and expanded the complex during the Edo period.

This temple serves as the 21st station on the Shikoku pilgrimage route and houses Buddhist sculptures and religious objects that visitors encounter in its halls. The pilgrimage path connects this location to other sacred sites and continues to shape how people experience this region's spiritual life.

You can reach the mountain using a modern cable car system that operates every day. The ride is straightforward and the summit is easily accessible, even for casual visitors.

An important walking path connects this temple to another sacred location a few kilometers away. This route is recognized for its historical value and links two pilgrimage sites together.
