Shikoku holy sites, day 8

Statue for recovering alchoholics.

Not much to recommed at this temple, aside from this mildly interesting lantern (spot the hearts).
Biscuits and tea at this rather attractive temple. An old geezer boasts of his daughter, working for the US government in a diplomatic role. He also treats us to a display of his biceps, which I have to admit were pretty impressive.
The funky rock formations more than justified the location of this temple.
I'm guessing these are donors who didn't merit stone pillars.
You don't see wood and bamboo scaffolding much these days.
Flavour shot.
