Nr. 27 - 竹林山 Chikurinzan　地蔵院 Jizo-In　神峯寺 Konomine-Ji
高知県安芸郡安田町唐浜2594 / 2594 Tōnohama, Yasuda-chō, Aki-gun

Konomine-ji has quite a special garden arrangement. The 150 stone steps from the Niomon Gate to the Main Temple Hall and the Daishi Temple Hall feature a garden on either side, which helps pilgrims to forget the arduous task of climbing the stone steps.

- Chant of the temple
みほとけのめぐみの心神峯
山も誓いも高き水音

Mount Konomine is 450 meters high.


- quote -
Konomineji, temple 27 on the Shikoku Pilgrimage is known as both nansho and a sekisho. a "nansho" is a temple that is considered difficult to reach, usually, as in the case of Konomineji,, because it is high on a mountain. Sekisho were barriers on highways that checked your papers. In terms of the pilgrimage they are 4 temples considered spiritual barriers that you will not get past without the correct spiritual attitude.

Konomineji was founded as both shrine and temple, with the shrine being above the temple. The shrine doesnt get as many visitors.
The temple burnt down in the early Meiji Period, and it was forbidden at that time to build a new temple so the locals found an unused temple in another part of the country and had it dismantled and reassembled here.
