Ryuukou-ji, Buddhist temple in Uwajima, Japan
The temple grounds contain multiple buildings including a main hall, a founder's hall, and stairs leading to an Inari shrine with a red torii gate.
Following his visit in 807, Buddhist monk Kukai created both an Inari Myojin statue and an Eleven-Faced Kannon statue for the temple complex.
Known as Temple 41 of the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage, Ryuukou-ji represents the fusion of Buddhist and Shinto religious elements in Japanese spirituality.
Located in the northeastern Mima district of Uwajima city, the temple welcomes visitors who wish to explore its various halls and participate in religious practices.
The main hall houses a 10-centimeter black stone, revered as the dragon's eye, which holds special significance within the temple's religious traditions.
