Visited Ishite-ji temple during my visit to Matsuyama. It is called the temple of the 'stone in the hand' and there is a parable of how the temple came into existence. It is an old temple which is situated on the Ishite river and was built in 728. Ishite-ji is one of the 88 temples on the sacred piligramage on Shikoku island.
