#Spring0yentrip Sanuki Kokubunji is a historic temple located in Kokubunji-cho, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. It is one of the Kokubunji temples built throughout the country by imperial decree of Emperor Shomu during the Nara period, and is also known as the 80th temple of the 88 sacred places of Shikoku. When you step into the temple grounds, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent Niomon Gate. Once you pass through the gate, you will find the main hall and Daishi Hall, where you can pray in a tranquil atmosphere. In particular, the appearance of the main hall gives you a sense of the weight of history and is calming to the heart. There is also a beautiful garden within the temple grounds, where visitors can enjoy the flowers of each season. The cherry blossoms in spring and the autumn leaves in autumn are magnificent, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of nature while strolling around.
