Manisan Kokubunji Temple
This is a Shingon school Chisan-ha temple in Kokubu in Nankoku City, Kochi Prefecture and is 29th temple of the 88 sacred places on the Shikoku Pilgrimage. The entire grounds are designated as a national historic site. It is one of the 68 kokubunji temples that Emperor Shomu built across the country and was established with the thousand-armed kannon that Gyoki made himself in 741 as the principal object of worship. It was later restored by Kobo Daishi as a Shingon school temple. The main hall with its Tenpyo period-style exterior and its interior with features of the Muromachi period, the temple bell and the wooden statue of the Bhaisajyaguru are Nationally Important Cultural Properties. The garden with its beautiful hair moss is also a must-see.

- 四国八十八か所霊場、29番
- まわりは田んぼでのんびりした場所にある立派なお寺です。朝9時からお寺カフェでの抹茶や写経もできるようですが、自分が朝早く着いてしまい時間の都合上今回は体験していません。とてもいい雰囲気のお寺でしたので次回はこれらを体験しに再訪したいです。

- 第29番札所
- ついに20番台に突入です、高知空港からは車で15分ほど、住宅街を抜けた少し先静寂な空間にひっそりとあります。駐車場はすこし離れた寺院の横側にあります。庭園も立派な見ごたえのある寺院、お参りしながらゆっくりと散策しました。

- 静かな空間
- 一歩境内に入ると外とは違う静かさで身がしまります。朝の9時に行くと誰もいません。お堂の千社札を見ると日本全国から来ていることがわかりますよ。
