Yashima-ji Temple

Information
Yashima-ji Temple (No. 84 on the Ohenro Shikoku Pilgrimage) was originally established at the northern tip of Yashima in 754 by Priest Ganjin and moved to the current location later by Kobo-Daishi (Priest Kukai). The temple's Hondo main hall and the statue of Thousand Armed Avalokiteshwara are designated as important cultural properties.
Because Yashima is the site of the Battle of Dan-no-Ura, titanic straggles between the Genji and Heike clans occurred In 1184, the temple's treasure house holds a collection related to the battle. Just behind the treasure house is the Pond of Blood, where the victorious warriors washed the blood from their swords, staining the water red.
