One of Japan’s Three Major Prayer Spots on the Shikoku pilgrimage, Nanzoin Temple is the head temple of the Eighty-eight Hallowed Grounds of Sasaguri Shikoku and the first prayer spot for the Mount Koya Shingon Sect’s Exceptional Head Temple.
Transferred from Wakayama Prefecture’s Mount Koya, the temple features the world’s largest lying bronze Buddha statue, “Nehanzou”, completed in September of 1995.
Over one million people visit Nanzoin Temple every year.

The Many Faces of Fukuoka’s Nanzoin Temple
Nestled on the side of a steep mountain hillside in the tiny village of Sasaguri, moss covered trails meander over babbling brooks and waterfalls and each turn in the path surprises with a new altar or Buddhist statue.

Sasaguri 篠栗四国八十八箇所 88 Henro Temples
Sasaguri Shikoku Hachijuuhachi kasho （ささぐりしこくはちじゅうはちかしょ）
篠栗霊場 Sasaguri reijo

Pilgrimage to 88 sacred temples in Sasaguri, Fukuoka, Kyushu
in honor of Kobo Daishi Kukai　弘法大師 空海.

One of the three new Henro pilgrimages in Japan.

It has been established by a monk called 慈忍 Jinin around 1835, after he completed the Henro walk in Shikoku. He wanted to give the priests, nuns and villagers, who could not travel to Shikoku, to have a chance to the benefit of a full pilgrimage. After his death, the caritable people of the village 篤志家 continued to support this project.

- quote -
篠栗霊場の歴史は天保年間、慈忍という人物がこの地を訪れた天保六年に始まる。慈忍は四国八十八箇所を巡拝したその帰りに篠栗村に立ち寄った尼僧であった。四国八十八箇所の開祖たる弘法大師も訪れたと伝わるこの村の者達の困窮を垣間見た慈忍は、その救済を目論みこの地にとどまり弘法大師の名において祈願を続け、やがて村に安寧をもたらしたものと伝わる。このことを弘法大師の利益（りやく）であるとした慈忍は、村の者達に四国のそれを模した88か所の霊場の造成を提案。呼応した村人達の手によって徐々に石仏がつくられはじめ、慈忍が没したのちにおいて、その志を継ぐ村の篤志家達の尽力によって88に達する霊場群が完成、それが今にある篠栗霊場の起源であると伝わっている。なお、明治期、成立した霊場会に対し、一部の寺院が土地建物を買収し、本来の札所とは一部異なる、との批判もある。

- quote
Ten Nights Bridge / Temple of Eternal Virtue
Eitokuji is located between Bangai Temple 7 and Temple 44. While the temple's name is officially Eitokuji, the name used by everyone is Tōyogabashi (Ten Nights Bridge) because of the legend associated with the bridge itself.

Legend has it that while in the area during the coldest part of winter, Kōbō Daishi went from house to house knocking on doors and asking for shelter. However, he was refused everywhere and ended up having to sleep under the bridge. He composed the following verse:
"They will not help a traveler in trouble - This one night seems like ten."

The temple was founded by Kōbō Daishi and a reclining image of him is enshrined under the bridge. Since the time it was constructed, the temple has been destroyed numerous times from flooding. Now it is made of concrete and Kōbō Daishi lies under thick futons. Both the Daishi and the temple belong to the nearby Eitokuji.

The statue of the reclining Daishi is popularly called Nojuku Daishi.

- quote
This temple was founded in the 6th century by Shōchō Enjun ?円手院正澄 , under the orders of Emperor Kinmei 欽明天皇. Later, a 5th generation disciple of En no Gyōja (En no Ozuna) named 寿元 dedicated the gods of the twelve Kumano shrines here and made this the Dōjō of the practice for followers of Shugendō. Kōbō Daishi repaired the temple buildings and Minamoto Yoritomo constructed buildings and donated a Sutra mound (kyōzuka) in memory of the nun Ike no Zenni in the early years of the 13th century.

During the Kamakura Period, the Saionji clan became rulers of southern Iyo and patronized this temple, as did Uwajima Date in the Edo Period.

The temple is popularly called Ageshisan (Brilliant Rock Mountain). Note the reddish roof bricks (Sekishun-kawara).

Note: This is the temple where many pilgrims start if they are coming from Kyūshū or further south. You can see Kyūshū from the hill behind the temple, or as you cross over the mountain coming from Temple 42. The trail over the mountain has been repaired and is now in spectacular shape.

西津軽郡深浦町深浦字浜町２７５ / Hamamachi-275 Fukaura, Fukaura-machi, Nishitsugaru-gun

Founded by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro 坂上田村麻呂 in 807.

Engaku Hoin 円覚法印 in 868 came here on his pilgrimage to the Northern Region
and built a small Kannon Hall 観音堂.

The sacred light which priest Engaku started in the the temple has been kept alive for more than 1000 years to our very day.

The main statue is 十一面観世音菩薩 11-headed Kannon Bosatsu
better known as 澗口観音 Maguchi Kannon

その後、嘉応年間になり鎮守府将軍・藤原基衝公、永正年間には葛西木庭袋伊予守頼清公の庇護（ひご）を受け、藩政時代になってからは津軽家の祈祷所に選ばれ、歴代藩主の手厚いひ護のもと、北前船貿易の華やかな江戸中期から明治中期にかけ、大阪をはじめ日本海の港からの船の出入りが多く、信心深い船主や船頭たちが海路の無事を祈って数多くの絵馬を奉納し、澗口観音と呼びならわされた。

- quote
Engaku-ji temple dates back to the 9th century. The great conqueror, Sakanoue No Tamuramaro, built a temple dedicated to the Kannon (the Buddhist God of Mercy) and put the eleven-faced Kannon into the temple at this place in 807. The eleven-faced Kannon was supposedly made by Shotoku Taishi (who was the greatest prince in Japan in the early 7th century).
After that, a Buddhist priest named Engaku Hoin came here from Nara and rebuilt the temple in 868.
Engaku-ji temple was founded at that time.

During the Edo period, sailors on the Northern-bound trade ships (Kitamaebune 北前舟) came here to pray for safety on sea.

弘前市百沢字東岩木山３０５６　/ Higashiiwakisan-3056 Hyakuzawa, Hirosaki-shi

This temple has been established as part of the Special Prayer Group of Narita San 聖心会 in the year 1960.
It relies on the Mountain Religion with the deity Akakura Daijin 赤倉大神 Akakura Daigongen in its center
and Kobo Daishi as its ancestor.
In the spring of 1982 the temple was re-located to its present place.
And in autumn of the same year, a shrine for the protector deity 守護神社 was also erected.
