🇯🇵 [Ehime Prefecture] 59th temple of the 88 Shikoku Pilgrimage, Konkozan Saishoin Kokubunji Iyo Kokubunji (^^) This area is the birthplace of Iyo culture, as it was the site of the provincial capital of Iyo! The ruins, believed to be the remains of the eastern tower, have 13 huge foundation stones and are considered a national historic site. The height of the seven-story pagoda, estimated from the arrangement of the foundation stones, is about 60m, and the temple's magnificent seven-hall structure evokes the Tenpyo period, which reigned over the Buddhist world of Iyo, and still retains its appearance today (^^) [Location] 4-1-33 Kokubun, Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture #0 yen trip February 2025
