光林寺, Buddhist temple in Hataji, Imabari, Japan.
The temple grounds contain multiple structures including the main hall, Goma hall, Eight Patriarchs hall, and Amida hall with flying eaves.
Founded in 701 by monk Tokuzō under Emperor Monmu's decree, the temple initially belonged to Hossō and Sanron schools before converting to Shingon in 806.
The temple serves as the 41st stop on the New Shikoku Mandala Pilgrimage and the 20th stop on the Shikoku 36 Fudo Temples Pilgrimage.
The temple office for collecting pilgrimage stamps and signatures is located near the main hall, with the Hakusan Shrine positioned behind the temple complex.
The temple experienced a complete destruction by fire but underwent reconstruction in 1042 under the supervision of Ivo守 Minamoto no Yoriyoshi.
