Yashimaji Temple

Yashimaji Temple is one of the most eye-catching sites on Yashima. The temple is believed to have been founded in 754 at a location on the north side of the mountain by the Chinese monk Jianzhen (Ganjin in Japanese; 688–763), who established the Ritsu school of Buddhism in Japan. In the early ninth century, the temple was converted to a Shingon Buddhist sanctuary by the priest Kukai (774–835), who also had the temple moved to its current location on the south side of the plateau. The temple is the 84th stop on the 88-temple Shikoku Pilgrimage.

Kukai is said to have carved the temple’s main object of worship, a statue of the Thousand-Armed Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion. The statue was originally kept in the main hall (hondo) but is now on display in the temple museum. The statue and the main hall building, as well as the temple bell dating to 1223, are designated Important Cultural Properties.

Also on display in the museum are Buddhist sculptures, along with artifacts and items relating to the Battle of Yashima, which took place in 1185. Beside the main hall is a shrine to Minoyama Daimyojin, a legendary tanuki (raccoon dog) spirit said to be able to take any form.

屋島寺

屋島寺是屋島最引人注目的景點之一。據說該寺建於西元754年，創建者正是日本佛教律宗的創始人、來自中國的高僧鑒真（688-763）。最初的廟址位於屋島山北坡，到了西元9世紀早期，高僧空海（774-835；諡號弘法大師）將寺廟遷至現在台地南側的位置，並改為真言宗。屋島寺是「四國靈場八十八箇所」巡禮第84處靈場。

相傳，寺廟所供奉的主尊千手觀音坐像也是空海所刻。坐像最初供奉在本堂（正殿），現陳列於寺廟的寶物館中。觀音像、本堂建築以及鑄於1223年的梵鐘都已被指定為國家重要文化財產。

除了佛像之外，屋島寺的寶物館裡還展出與1185年屋島之戰相關的文物及資料。
