Hashikura-ji, Buddhist temple in Ikedachō Shūzu, Japan.
The temple buildings, including the main hall and prayer hall, stand on a ridge extending southeast from Mount Hashikura at 720 meters elevation.
Buddhist monk Kūkai established Hashikura-ji in 828 during the Heian period, after discovering spiritual energy at this mountainous location.
The temple holds the designation of Important Cultural Property of Japan and functions as the fifteenth temple of the Shikoku Bekkaku Nijū Reijō pilgrimage route.
Morning and evening fire rituals occur daily at 6:30 and 18:00 in the prayer hall, continuing a tradition that spans more than 1200 years.
Local folklore tells of tengu spirits carrying ceremonial chopsticks to the temple, leading to an annual chopstick dedication ceremony on August 4.
