Zentsuji City, known as the birthplace of Kobo Daishi (Kukai), is a temple town that developed around "Sohonzan Zentsu-ji," which is particularly important among the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage sites. Walking through the city, historic temples and old townscapes remain everywhere, allowing you to feel the deep spiritual culture of Kagawa Prefecture. Zentsuji City is also famous as the producing area of "Square Watermelons," and those unique specialties are a topic of conversation worldwide. It is a city where discoveries are made with every step, including gourmet food using the local specialty "Daishimochi" (glutinous barley) and the warm hospitality that has welcomed pilgrims since ancient times. It is a city promising a soul-cleansing journey where you can align your heart in quiet precincts and touch traditional Japanese landscapes and people's peaceful lives.
