Sairin-ji, Buddhist temple in Takai, Matsuyama, Japan.
Temple 48 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage contains a main hall, Enma-do building, bell tower, Daishido hall, and Niomon gate beneath forested slopes.
Emperor Shomu commissioned Gyogi Bosatsu to establish the temple in 741, where he enshrined an eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva statue in the main hall.
The temple grounds feature a stone-engraved haiku by Shiki Masaoka reflecting his longing for home while sick in Tokyo, incorporating references to local herbs.
The temple offers free parking for 20 vehicles and stands 800 meters from Takanoko Station on the Iyotetsu Yokogawara Line.
A distinctive bamboo plant grows near Enma-do, where parent and child stems remain connected, representing family harmony according to local traditions.
