The nearby Tamura Shrine is considered the foremost shrine in Kagawa Prefecture. Also of interest is Ritsurin Park and Garden, known as one of the three most beautiful gardens in all of Japan. The plateau is called Goshiki Dai because it consists of five differently colored peaks symbolizing the five forms of Buddha Mahavairocana.

Many of the mantras are embedded in the various chants done in the Korean tradition. The one you mentioned is included in the Morning Bell Chant They in turn, come from the Chinese tradition, so presumably one could research their origin that way. I have seen some of these mantra's in various sutra's and shastra's, but I am definitely no scholar when it comes to that stuff.

Wake no Michitaka founded the temple in 749 to repent for accidentally shooting his nurse with an arrow.

Daikokuten is the God of agriculture, considered to be a provider of food and abundance. For this reason, his picture is often placed in kitchens, particularly in monasteries. Perhaps the most well-known story is that he was the son of Demeter and her human companion Iasion. As a result, his blessings of wealth often meant a successful harvest and an abundance of food rather than money.

The temple was founded by Gyōgi Bosatsu and originally called Dōjōji. It was later rebuilt by Kōbō Daishi and yet again by St. Ippen in the 13th century. When St. Ippen rebuilt it, he also converted it to the Jishū sect of Pure Land Buddhism and changed the name to its present name.

Therein, Jikokuten and Bishamonten pledge on behalf of all four to protect those who embrace the Lotus Sutra.

The skillful means provided by the puja, 毘沙門天 empowerment, and practice of the Dzambhalas work best with the right intention of developing bodhicitta to reach enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings. All Dzambhalas are said to be the wealth giving form of Avalokitesvara, this means they originally emanated from Avalokitesvara or the Compassionate Buddha. Of interest here are the numerous crutches left by people who been miraculously cured during their pilgrimage.

In India Vaiśravaṇa was King of the North which also made him King of the Yakshas, the bringers of disease. His symbols were a banner, a mongoose and the color yellow. As best I can tell so far the mongoose never made it into the Japanese iconography of Bishamon. Below is a bronze sculpture of Jambhala (aka Vaiśravaṇa) said to date from the 17th century.
