Tour 88 sacred sites by stepping on sand at Noma Daibo

#besttrip2023 I visited Noma Daibo, a temple of the Shingon sect of Buddhism in Mihama-cho, Chita-gun, Aichi Prefecture. Noma Daibo is a temple of the Shingon sect of Buddhism. Noma Daibo is also famous for being the grave of Minamoto no Yoshitomo, Kamata Masakiyo, Oda Nobutaka, and Ike Yoshini. The principal image of the temple is the Kaiun Enmei Jizo. The principal image here was also worshiped by warlords of the Sengoku period, and it is said to grant any wish. The temple has a sand-stepping area, where sand from each of the 88 temples of Shikoku is embedded, and it is said that if you walk here, you will receive the benefits of visiting all 88 temples of Shikoku. In the spacious grounds, there are dolls that ward off evil spirits and large Buddha footprints. I also walked in the sand area of ​​Shikoku and felt like I had made a pilgrimage to all 88 temples of Shikoku. It is definitely worth a visit!
