Temple 14: Jorakuji

Kukai founded many temples along the Shikoku Pilgrimage, but this is the only one with a main statue of the Buddha of the Future (Maitreya). Legend says that the deity appeared to Kukai during his training, so he carved a statue and enshrined it at this sanctuary, which was likely established in 815.

On the temple grounds is an unusual rock outcrop, known as Ryusuigan no Niwa, or the “Garden of Running Water Rocks.” Also located on-site is the Araragi Daishi, a statue sitting in a ten-meter-high tree. According to local lore, the tree is endowed with special powers to heal disease. It is particularly popular among those seeking to be cured of diabetes.

第14號寺：常樂寺

四國遍路沿線多是由空海創立的寺廟，但常樂寺是唯一侍奉未來佛（彌勒佛）為主佛的寺院，相傳彌勒佛曾在空海修行時顯現真身，因此，他雕刻了一尊彌勒佛像供奉在這處聖地中。據估算，常樂寺應建於西元815年。

寺內有一片罕見的裸露斷層的岩石，因此有「流水岩庭園」之稱。這裡還有一座「紫杉大師」雕像鎮坐於高達10公尺的紫杉樹上，據當地傳說，大樹擁有特殊能力，用樹葉煎水喝便能治癒疾病，尤其對治療糖尿病特別有效，很多人因此前來祈願。
