Jōruri-ji, Buddhist temple in Matsuyama, Japan.
Located at temple number 46 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, Jōruri-ji houses Yakushi Nyorai, the healing deity, along with Nikko and Moonlight Bodhisattva statues.
Founded in 708 by Gyoki Bodhisattva, the temple underwent restoration by Kobo Daishi in 807 and recovered from a devastating fire in 1715 through extensive rebuilding efforts.
The temple grounds feature ancient stone monuments including Buddha's hand and footprints, with local traditions connecting these relics to prayers for safe travels.
Visitors can reach the temple from Matsuyama Station by bus in approximately 40 minutes, with free parking available for those arriving by private transportation.
A thousand-year-old Ibuki juniper tree, designated as a Natural Monument of Matsuyama City, stands 20 meters tall within the temple grounds.
