Jigenji

The temple complex contains multiple wooden buildings featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements, complemented by gardens with abundant moss growth throughout the grounds.

The temple stands at the former location of the Kaneko clan's residence, who controlled the region and maintained their family temple at this northern foothill site.

Within the temple buildings, visitors can examine wooden carvings, traditional sculptures, and painted images, along with the imperial chrysanthemum crest displayed on the premises.

The temple welcomes visitors year-round, with regular bus service stopping near the entrance, making it accessible for both local worshippers and tourists.

The temple grounds contain the preserved graves of the Kaneko clan members, creating a direct connection to the regional feudal history of Niihama.
