Tanema-ji, Buddhist temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage in Kōchi, Japan

The Tanema-ji temple complex features traditional wooden structures and stone pathways set within forested grounds on a hilltop location.

During Emperor Yomei's reign in 585-587, a Buddhist carpenter from Baekje created the temple after drifting ashore during a storm near this location.

The temple maintains its position as the 34th stop on the Shikoku Pilgrimage route, where visitors perform religious practices and meditation.

Visitors can access the temple grounds through marked pathways, with informational signs in multiple languages explaining the site's religious importance.

The temple's name translates to 'seed space temple,' referring to the five grain varieties that monk Kukai introduced from China in the Konin period.
