[Temple No. 68: Jinnein (Jinnein)]
Temple No. 69: Kannonji (Kannonji) | Kannonji City, Kagawa Prefecture]
"Two temples in one visit. A special temple built on high ground overlooking the sea."
— The only place on the Shikoku pilgrimage where you can visit two temples in one.
The grounds are spacious, well-maintained, and filled with refreshing air.
With the ocean stretching out behind, you can also enjoy sweeping views of the Seto Inland Sea townscape from the approach.
The experience of visiting the two main halls and the Daishi Hall in the tranquil grounds is a place where you can experience a sense of spiritual fulfillment.
