For pilgrims unable to complete all 88 temples, Sanuki Kokubunji offers a shortcut: 88 stone steles representing each temple stand on the grounds, allowing visitors to symbolically complete the journey in one stop.

Building the temple's original 900-meter roofed mud wall required approximately 20,000 workers, who compacted layers of soil by hand to create the distinctive puff pastry-like striations still visible today.
