Zenrakuji (Temple of Good Pleasure), the 30th temple on the Shikoku Pilgrimage, is a welcoming temple in a Kochi neighbourhood. Founded by Kōbō Daishi to pacify a local dragon deity, its atmosphere is warm and communal. The temple is notable for its rare and gently sculpted Senjū Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon), believed to grant wishes, and its charming collection of red-bibbed Jizō statues, which protect local children.
