Kogenji

Kogenji temple features a main hall constructed in the early nineteenth century that exhibits traditional Japanese architectural elements and religious artifacts.

The temple was established in 741 by monk Gyoki, who carved the statue of Yakushi Nyorai, before being destroyed in the 16th century and reconstructed in 1742.

The temple holds the position of number fifteen among the 88 temples of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, attracting numerous Buddhist practitioners throughout the year.

The temple grounds are accessible through a ten-minute walk from the Kokubunji-mae bus stop, which connects directly to Tokushima Station.

The temple contains a carved statue of the Medicine Buddha, Yakushi Nyorai, that has remained the primary object of worship since its creation in the 8th century.
