Zenigata Sand Design
銭形砂絵
A giant Kan-ei Tsuho coin design is formed in the sand at Kotohiki Park. The photograph shows illumination in 2019, rather than current colors or lighting hours. Use viewing areas and keep out of the sand design.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
Jinnein, temple 68, and Kannonji, temple 69, share these grounds. The 2019 photograph shows their shared Nio gate, rather than either main hall. Visit quietly and respectfully.

Ibuki iriko are dried anchovies produced on Kanonji’s Ibuki Island and used in Sanuki udon broth. The city explains their different size grades. Check origin and storage instructions when buying.
