Access into this beautiful places surrounded by lush greens and rushing rivers isn't easy without a car. Even so the roads in become very narrow and windy. However, if you're a lover of Japanese green tea and all sorts of lovely delectable foods then this is a must visit. There are a few eateries with a proper restaurant facing a the stunning maple trees especially in Autumn, where you can try green tea noodles and their special firm tofu.
There is also a Japanese style tea house where you can sit down and enjoy the sweets leisurely or opt for the cafe which has green tea soft serve. Don't miss the shop where you can try their quality Kirinomori green tea produced locally (you can even see the tea fields as you drive in) before making a purchase. We also tried the green tea purin but preferred the houji tea flavour instead. However, the highlight of the sweets is definitely the green tea daifuku which has a soft chewy layer of mochi coated in green tea and in its centre is a smooth red bean paste mixed with creamy goodness. It's definitely worth the drive in particularly if you enjoy scenic routes and a bit of adventure driving on mountain roads though you can always pay the toll and enter via the expressway.

毎年、遍路をしているので今年もここへ参拝しましたが、アクセスが極めて不便で大型バスでは境内駐車場までは乗り入れ出来ません。非効率にも途中でかなり割高のマイクロバスに乗り換えて行く必要があります。堂宇は然程、規模も大きくなく、行基開山の古寺にしては縁起とは異なり、小さなものでした。本堂の欄間に鏝でレリーフのように作成されている塗り物がユニーク、と云う程度のものでした。

We stopped here for the usual reasons. I was particularly taken by the mosaic in the bathroom. The shop/food area is a bit smaller than that found at other rest stops.

ここは法道仙人と云う、日本人ではない大陸から飛来したと伝承されている渡来人が開創した寺院で、ご本尊には空海、弘法大師を据える真言宗大覚寺派の寺院です。と、云うことは開創後、１２００年以上は経過していると云うことになります。アクセスにはそれなりに苦労する寺院ですが、境内に辿り着くと一種、達成感が得られる寺院でもあります。見事な造りの本堂、古の昔にここへどのようにして、こんなに大きな、立派な堂宇を建てることが出来たのか？改めて先人の偉大さに驚くばかりです。

This small, thoughtfully arranged museum is located in one of the most important papermaking regions of the country. Here you can get a real understanding of the papermaking process, from the varieties of fibers used, to their harvest, processing and sheet forming. There is a shop where hand made paper (washi) and paper products can be purchased as well as a second floor gallery displaying artwork using washi as the primary support.

小さな、狭い寺院ですが、ここは四国別格２０霊場の第１４番札所。正式名の常福寺と云うよりも「椿堂」としての方が有名です。ここは難所が多い別格寺院の中では比較的アクセスも容易な札所でした。但し、個人的な好みで云うと神社でもそうなんですが、私は朱色や赤を使用したような堂宇や鳥居は大嫌いです。風格も無ければ、重厚さも感じられない。

ここは千本通発祥の地です。千枚通しについてはネットでも公開されているので略しますが、行基が開いた古寺で延命地蔵尊をご本尊に戴く真言宗御室派寺院です。四国にたった２０か所しかない別格霊場がここ四国中央市には３つもあります。高速のインターチェンジからも比較的近いのでアクセスはし易い寺院です。ここの寺宝は千枚通しです。

向山公園は桜の時期が最高です。
桜まつりの時以外なら車で中腹まで行けます。
桜の時期終わってもツツジが綺麗です。
普段でも公園内の手入れもそこそこされています。まったり、のんびりできる所です。
