Yashima-ji, Buddhist temple on Mount Yashima, Takamatsu, Japan
The main hall of Yashima-ji Temple stands at 341 meters above sea level, featuring vermillion-colored gates and traditional Japanese architectural elements.
Founded in 754 by Chinese monk Ganjin, the temple later became a significant location during the Genpei War between the Taira and Minamoto clans.
As temple number 84 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage circuit, Yashima-ji houses a thousand-armed Kannon statue and a bronze bell from the Kamakura period.
Visitors can reach the temple via shuttle bus from Takamatsu Station or by car, with ample parking available at the mountain summit.
The temple grounds include a shrine dedicated to Tazaburo Tanuki, recognized as the general of all Shikoku raccoon dogs.
