Kounomine-ji, Buddhist temple on Mount Konomine in Yasuda, Japan
The temple stands at 450 meters elevation on Mount Konomine, featuring traditional gardens and offering views across the Pacific Ocean.
Founded during the reign of Empress Jingu between 201-269 CE, the temple originally served as a place of worship for Amaterasu Omikami.
Pilgrims following the Shikoku Pilgrimage journey visit this temple, marked as the 27th stop along the sacred Buddhist circuit.
The temple requires a challenging uphill walk through mountainous terrain, with local buses connecting visitors from Yasuda station to the base.
Behind the bell tower flows the Ishimizu spring, known as Konomine's Water, which local traditions say contains healing properties.
