Jinne-in is Temple No. 68 on the Shikoku 88-temple pilgrimage, making it a numbered stop for henro pilgrims.
Until 1868, pilgrims actually visited Kotohiki Hachimangu Shrine as the 68th sacred site, not Jinnein. The temple only became a pilgrimage stop after the government forced Buddhist and Shinto sites to separate.
Jinne-in stands on Mt. Kotohiki and adjoins Kannonji Temple, an unusual arrangement for two linked pilgrimage sites in one precinct.
Among Shikoku pilgrimage temples, Jinne-in is noted as rare because it still conveys the legacy of shinbutsu shugo, the mixing of kami and Buddhist worship.
