Hotsumisakiji, the 24th temple on the Shikoku Pilgrimage, is a must-visit gem for travelers, photographers, and anyone drawn to Japan's unique spiritual and natural beauty. Nestled on the southern tip of the Muroto Peninsula in Kochi Prefecture, this historic temple overlooks the stunning Muroto Cape and the vast Pacific Ocean. Its picturesque setting, rich history, and serene ambiance make it a perfect spot to explore and capture.

A Journey of Beauty and Reflection

For pilgrims on the Shikoku route, reaching Hotsumisakiji is both a challenge and a reward. The previous temple, Yakuoji, is over 70 kilometers away, a trek that typically takes 2-5 days on foot. Along the way, hikers are treated to awe-inspiring views of lush mountains to the right and the expansive ocean to the left. This path offers not just physical endurance but also moments of introspection and connection with nature.

Historical Significance

Hotsumisakiji's story is deeply intertwined with Kukai, the legendary Buddhist monk who inspired the Shikoku Pilgrimage. At the age of 19, Kukai trained and chanted mantras in nearby caves, later building the temple in 807 at the behest of Emperor Saga. The main deity, Kokūzō Bosatsu, was carved by Kukai himself, adding a layer of reverence to the temple's sacred aura. Over the centuries, the temple relocated from a mountaintop to its current coastal position during the 11th century's Kantoku Period, blending history with nature's tranquility.

Capturing the Essence of Hotsumisakiji

While the temple grounds are relatively compact, their charm lies in their simplicity. Highlights include:

Bell Tower: A quintessential feature of Japanese temples, perfect for detail shots.

Small Pagoda: Adds depth to your compositions.

Musical Stone: Hidden behind the main hall, this fascinating stone produces melodic sounds when smaller stones are tapped against it.

Statues and Scenic Views: From serene Bodhisattva statues to the rocky cape and endless ocean vistas, your lens will find no shortage of inspiration.

For panoramic views, don't miss the nearby Muroto Cape Lighthouse—a short walk from the temple. This iconic spot offers dramatic backdrops of the cape and ocean, ideal for drone photography and wide-angle shots.

Tips for Visitors and Photographers

Visit during early mornings or late afternoons for softer lighting and fewer crowds.

Use a wide-angle lens to capture the sweeping landscapes, and a macro lens for intricate temple details.

Respect the sacred atmosphere—keep noise levels low and avoid intrusive setups.

Tajemniczy blok pod adresem Jana III Sobieskiego 100 na Mokotowie to budynek wybudowany w 1977-78 dla pracowników Ambasady ZSRR. Stoi opuszczony, lecz nadal pilnowany. Okoliczni mieszkańcy nazwali go "szpiegowem", ponieważ krążyły plotki, że stanowił on kryjówkę dla agentów wywiadu. Na pewno, mimo opuszczenia, jego stan jest lepszy niż wielu polskich budynków z wielkiej płyty... #mokotow #mokotów #urbex #warszawa #sotka #sobieskiego100 #urbexphotography #szpiegowo #poland #polska #dronephotography #dronetravel #djispark #dji #dronephoto #secretplace #tajemniczemiejsce (w: Sobieskiego 100) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVa-5K3t_oQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Grito de Lares (Cry of Lares)—also referred to as the Lares uprising, the Lares revolt, the Lares rebellion, or the Lares revolution—was the first major revolt against Spanish rule in Puerto Rico. The short-lived revolt was planned by Ramón Emeterio Betances and Segundo Ruiz Belvis. It began on September 23, 1868, in the town of Lares, for which it is named, and spread rapidly to various revolutionary cells throughout the island " My Home " . ✌ double tap if you like it . #south_pawphotography #lares #puertorico #dji #djipanthom3 #droneoftheday #dronenews #dronetravel #djiphotography #djidrones #photooftheday #history #picture #moodygrams #mountains #islandlife #travelphotography #travelpic #travelgram #ig_bliss #ig_myshot #ig_photo #ig_great_pics #photography #airialvideoagraph #dronelife #sunday https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFBHDgHEaG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t6wh2bt0n0z7
