• Tokuju-ji Temple - The temple was established around 300 years ago. The main Buddha, known as “Kinseki Jizo,” is believed to offer protection for children and during pregnancy. There is an old story about an elderly couple who prayed to Jizo for a child and were blessed with a healthy boy. In gratitude, they built the temple. The temple is part of the Soto-syu sect. In Miyajima, all temples are somewhat affiliated with the Itsukushima Shrine, so you may notice elements typically associated with Shinto shrines.
