Kumadani-ji, Buddhist temple on Shikoku pilgrimage route in Awa, Japan
The temple compound features a four-story wooden pagoda with multiple eaves and traditional Japanese architectural elements throughout the complex.
Kumadani-ji, established in the early 9th century by Buddhist monk Kūkai, suffered a fire in 1928 that destroyed the main hall, leading to its reconstruction.
The temple dedicates its worship to Senjū Kannon, displaying the Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Avalokiteśvara statue in the main prayer hall.
Visitors can reach the temple grounds through a stone pathway, where they encounter a purification washbasin before proceeding to prayer areas.
Four stone statues of Heavenly Kings face cardinal directions near the temple entrance, with gargoyles depicting a koi fish between two dragons.
