Jōdo-ji, Buddhist temple in Matsuyama, Japan.

The temple grounds contain traditional Japanese architecture, including a main hall constructed in 1482 that exemplifies regional Buddhist architectural elements.

Founded by the Buddhist monk Gyōki, Jōdo-ji temple experienced destruction in 1416 during local conflicts before the Kōno clan undertook its reconstruction.

This temple marks the 49th stop on the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage and holds position two among The Thirteen Buddhist Sites of Iyo.

Located at 1198 Takanoko-machi, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 7:00 to 17:00 without requiring an entrance fee.

The temple preserves ancient graffiti from the Muromachi Period, providing direct evidence of historical visits by both Tendai priests and peasant pilgrims.
