Kakurin-jiHistory and origin of
Located at the summit of the Washigao mountain at an altitude of 550m, large cedar, cypress, and pine trees loom over the approaching path. When Kobo Daishi was training in this mountain, two white male and female cranes were taking turns spreading out their winds to protect a small golden Jizo. Daishi carved a 90 cm Kshitigarbha from a nearby sacred tree and placed the golden Jizo in the womb and made this the principal image, and named the temple as Kakurin-ji.
