Perched dramatically atop Mount Tairyu, Tairyuji Temple is renowned as one of the most atmospheric stops on the historic Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. Revered as the 'Western Koyasan' due to its deep Koyasan Shingon roots and alpine sanctuary setting, the temple enshrines the Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva. Visitors can reach the secluded complex via a scenic ropeway offering sweeping views over the rugged Tokushima landscape. Surrounded by ancient cedars and mountain mists, the temple grounds provide a deeply peaceful and spiritually resonant experience.
