    Kochi Takaoka-gun Nakatosacho Kure 6515

    御由緒に、津波で社殿などが流出したため、宝永地震以前のことは詳らかでないとありました。 海岸近くに鎮座しているため、幾度か津波の被害に遭っています。参道の近くには、津波被害を記した案内板も設置されていました。隣接して、津波避難タワーの「純平タワー」があり、津波の備えとともに、災禍の大きさも感じられます。 拝殿の南側には、岩に開いた穴を抜けて参拝する「厄ぬけ石」が祀られています。ポットホールが貫通し...

Kochi Areas

The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
