Ganshō-ji

Ganshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Tokushima, Japan

Ganshō-ji is a Shingon Omuro-ha temple in Tokushima, with the mountain name Tentokusan and Fudō Myōō as its principal image. A Daikoku-dō stands at the entrance to the grounds, and a stone Fudō Myōō statue stands beyond the Niō gate.

Ganshō-ji belongs to the Omuro school of Shingon Buddhism and carries the mountain name Tentokudzan. Its main image is Fudō Myōō, and a stone Fudō stands just past the Niō gate. The temple is the 10th stop on the Tokushima 24 Kannon pilgrimage circuit and a Daikokuten site on the Tokushima Shichifukujin route.

Ganshō-ji is the tenth stop on the Tokushima Twenty-Four Kannon Sites pilgrimage and a stop on the Tokushima Shichifukujin route, where it is associated with Daikokuten. A Daikokudō stands at the entrance to the grounds, and Daikokuten is also honoured in the hall to the left of the main hall. The main image enshrined here is Fudō Myōō, and a stone Fudō stands just past the Niō gate.

Ganshō-ji is about a 15-minute walk from JR Tokushima Station, or roughly 20 minutes by car from the Tokushima Interchange on the Tokushima Expressway. The temple stands in the Teramachi district, an area known for its cherry trees, which are also planted on the temple grounds and lit up at night.

Ganshō-ji is the tenth stop on the Tokushima Twenty-Four Kannon and Jizō Pilgrimage and also counts among the Tokushima Seven Lucky Gods sites, where it represents Daikokuten. A Daikokudō hall stands at the entrance to the grounds, and a second Daikoku is enshrined in the left-hand hall beside the main hall.
