Taisan-ji

Taisan-ji stands on a platform of large stones resembling castle walls, featuring a main hall and a Daishi-do with a flaming ball on its roof.

The temple originated as a place for prayers related to childbirth, evolving into Temple Number 56 of the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage circuit.

The temple grounds contain wooden Nio guardian statues behind glass panels, along with weeping plum trees and Ehime prefecture's signature camellia flowers.

Located among rice fields, Taisan-ji forms part of a cluster with five other pilgrimage temples in Imabari, making it convenient for route planning.

The temple features an unusual concrete retaining wall between its buildings, contrasting with traditional Japanese temple architecture.
