Anraku-ji, Buddhist temple in Kamiita, Japan

The Anraku-ji temple features traditional Buddhist architecture with a central prayer hall and accommodates regular meditation sessions throughout the year.

Founded by Buddhist master Kūkai, this temple became the sixth stop on the Shikoku Pilgrimage route and received its cultural property designation in the 18th century.

The temple maintains the tradition of displaying the Bhaisajyaguru statue, representing healing and medicine, which draws Buddhist practitioners from across Japan.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a local bus from Kamiita Station, with scheduled services running multiple times during temple opening hours.

The temple holds the distinction of being appointed as the first head of the Shikoku Pilgrimage Association in 1956.
