Unpenji Temple (雲辺寺) – Highest Point on the Shikoku Pilgrimage
Unpenji Temple is the 66th temple on the sacred Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, perched atop Unpenji Mountain at an elevation of roughly 900 meters (2,950 feet). It’s the highest point on the entire pilgrimage route, offering sweeping views across Shikoku’s rugged landscape.
Located on the border of Tokushima and Kagawa Prefectures, Unpenji is often referred to as the “Kōya of Shikoku”, echoing the revered Mount Kōya — a place where monks have long gathered to reflect, meditate, and take in the beauty of nature from above.
With its tranquil forest paths, stunning stone Buddhist statues, and brilliant autumn foliage, Unpenji is a destination where spiritual tradition meets breathtaking scenery.
