Rinshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Sennan, Japan

Rinsho-ji Temple features the Horin-no-niwa Garden, created by landscape designer Mirei Shigemori, with Satsuki azaleas that bloom in late May.

Founded in the first half of the 8th century by Gyoki, the priest responsible for building the Great Buddha statue at Todai-ji Temple in Nara.

The temple hosts an annual fire-walking ceremony in January where mountain ascetics perform rituals on burning embers for protection and good fortune.

Visitors can access the temple through a 20-minute walk from Izumi-Sunakawa Station on the JR Hanwa Line, with parking available for 40 vehicles.

The temple grounds contain a Mini Shikoku 88-Temple Route, created 200 years ago as a condensed version of the 1,400-kilometer pilgrimage path.

Location: Sennan

Part of: 33 pilgrimage sites of Izumi-saigoku
