This is the last shrine and rest stop before pilgrims will make a steep descend, followed by a final ascend to Temple 12 Shosanji (焼山寺). Jorenji is also known as Ipponsugian (一本杉庵), meaning "one cedar shrine". This name comes from a large cedar tree nearby that was believed to be planted by Kobo Daishi, the Buddhist monk whom the Shikoku Pilgrimage is based on.

How are walking times calculated?

Walking times are estimated with a modified approach to Naismith’s rule to account for elevation gains/losses and other practical considerations that require a more conservative bias. The basis of our calculations assumes a speed of 4 kilometers per hour on flat land. Learn more here.
