Onzan-ji, Buddhist temple and pilgrimage site in Komatsushima, Japan
Located in the mountains of Tokushima Prefecture, Onzan-ji temple features a main hall, Daishi hall, and a dedicated hall for Kukai's mother.
Founded in the Tenpyo period by Gyoki under Emperor Shomu's decree, the temple was initially forbidden to women until Kukai's intervention in 814.
As the 18th temple of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, Onzan-ji holds special importance for pilgrims seeking to honor the relationship between Kukai and his mother.
The temple complex includes parking for 20 vehicles and stands 4.7 kilometers from Minami-Komatsushima Station, with regular bus service to Onzan-ji-mae stop.
Onzan-ji exclusively offers the Surikesa, a sacred protective garment marked with Sanskrit characters and religious texts, considered a powerful Buddhist talisman.
