🇯🇵 [Ehime Prefecture] Shikoku 88 Temples, 40th Temple, Heijo-san Kanjizai-ji Heijo-san Kanjizai-ji is a temple of the Shingon sect Daikaku-ji school in Ehime Prefecture! In the second year of the Daido era (807), Kobo Daishi visited this place at the request of the 51st Emperor Heijo, and created three statues of Yakushi Nyorai (principal image), Amida Nyorai (side image), and Eleven-Headed Kannon (both of the eleven-headed valiant mercy), which he placed in the temple and established the temple (^^) Even now, nearly 1,200 years later, it is still crowded with pilgrims from all over the country as the main training center for prayers for protection from misfortune at the Shikoku pilgrimage.

This time, I went to Ainan Town, Ehime Prefecture, aiming for the Shiden Kai Exhibition Hall, which I have wanted to visit for a long time. 🚗 It is located in the lower left of Shikoku, and there is no airport or station nearby, so it is difficult to reach, and I have repeatedly planned and given up on it. 💦 The Shiden Kai is a phantom fighter plane that is only exhibited here in Japan, and there are only four in the world. The Shiden Kai on display was salvaged from the sea, and since it still retains its original shape, it is a very valuable piece that gives us an insight into the time. There are also various other parts on display in detail, and there are interview videos and notes of the actual pilots, which were worth seeing. The exhibition hall is located on a small hill with a good view of the sea, and the surroundings are very quiet, conveying the feeling of mourning. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, and it was a good opportunity to think about peace again. #DomesticTravelRecord #AinanTown #ShidenKaiExhibitionHall
