Joushin-an, Buddhist temple in Kamiyama, Japan.

The temple stands within the natural setting of Kamiyama, featuring traditional wooden architecture with curved roofs and a central courtyard layout.

During the Meiji period of 1868, this temple, like many others, underwent structural modifications due to the implementation of new religious separation laws.

The temple serves as a spiritual stop along the Henro pilgrimage route, connecting pilgrims to the broader network of 88 temples dedicated to Kannon.

Located 100 meters from the main pilgrim path and 1.3 kilometers from Temple 12, visitors can reach the temple through marked walking trails.

The temple grounds include the burial site of Emon Saburo, connecting the location to the foundational narratives of the Shikoku pilgrimage tradition.
