Kakurin-ji, Buddhist temple in Katsuura, Japan
The temple complex spans three mountain levels from 470 to 550 meters, featuring ancient cedar trees and stone pillars along its paths.
Founded in 798 by Emperor Kanmu, Kakurin-ji received patronage from emperors and samurai, including Minamoto no Yoritomo, supporting its construction and land acquisitions.
The temple holds a collection of significant artifacts, including a wooden Jizo statue measuring 90 centimeters, which contains a smaller golden Jizo within.
Access requires a 6-kilometer climb from Ikuna bus stop at the mountain base, with no direct public transportation to the temple entrance.
The temple grounds contain the only three-story pagoda in Tokushima Prefecture, constructed between 1817 and 1827, recognized as a prefectural cultural asset.
