Yokomine-ji, Buddhist temple on Mount Ishizuchi, Japan.

Yokomine-ji Temple stands at an elevation of 750 meters on Mount Ishizuchi, featuring a main hall that houses a statue of Dainichi Nyorai.

The temple originated in 651 when En no Gyoja established it as a training ground, later becoming the 60th temple of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage.

The temple maintains strong ties to mountain worship traditions and serves as a western worship point for Mount Ishizuchi religious practices.

Access requires a 500-meter uphill walk from the parking lot, with the forest road closed from late December through February due to winter conditions.

The temple grounds display red Ishihana flowers in early May, while the site earned the name 'Henro Rolling' due to its previously dangerous pilgrim access.

Location: Saijo

Part of: Shikoku Pilgrimage
