    Kanagawa Pref. Iseharashi Oyama 724
    "This temple is located in Oyama, Isehara City. Founded in the year 755 by the Buddhist monk Roben, founder of Todaiji Temple in Nara Prefecture. Its primary object of worship is the Oyamafudozo statue cast by the Buddhiest priest Gangyo Shonin in 1264. A number of sacred places were established around the temple when the Buddhiest monk Kukai served as its chief priest. These sacred grounds are worshiped even today as part of a creed known as Oyama Nanafushigi (the Seven Wonders of Oyama). Visitors to the temple can perform a ritual called ""kawara nage"" in which sundried earthenware are thrown off a cliff to ward off evil and misfortune."

    Amazing red leaves around Oyama temple. Luckily I could see Kokuhou (national treasure) which was limited time available to visitors! Fudomyouou statue was great!

    常設展示室は、川ゾーン・生命ゾーン・人ゾーンなどに分かれていて、川ゾーンにある流れのアクアリウムは、スロープに水槽があり、上流に住んでいる魚から下流に住んでいる魚まで、相模川の流れを水槽で表現していました。人ゾーンの屋外にある湧水と小川のアクアリウムでは、魚に餌を与えることができ、おさかなスティックを水面に近づけると、魚がジャンプして空中で食べる姿は凄まじいです。企画展はアマゾン展でした。内陸部に...

    Kanagawa Sagamihara-shi Chuo-ku Takane 3-1-15

    プラネタリウムもあるし、展示物も立派で相模原市の規模の博物館としては頑張っていると感じる施設です。規模は小さい部類に入りますが県立や歴史ある100万人規模の政令指定都市の施設と同じレベルのものです。

    ダムを見に行ったついでに立ち寄りました。小学４年息子はしくみを理解したかは不明ですがペダルを漕いで発電させる体験展示に食いついていました。年中娘には難しいものが多かったですが、塗り絵コーナーもあって遊べました。

    Kanagawa Isehara-shi Sannomiya 1472
    Sannomiya Hibita Shrine is located in the Sannomiya area of the city of Isehara in Kanagawa Prefecture and is dedicated to both the god Toyokumune-no-Mikoto, said to be part of the earliest generation of gods, and the god Sakatoki-no-Kami, the god of sake. This has made it a popular destination for sake brewers. It attracts large numbers of worshipers, since it is believed to be a good place to pray for fulfillment of wishes, true love, or a marriage partner. It is one of the five shrines in the former province of Sagami that participates in the Kokufu Festival every year on May 5.

    大変歴史のある神社で、天平の時代から子宝、安産に霊験ありとされたそうです。 拝殿の前に立つ左右の柱の、人の胸当たりの高さ部分が削られて細くなっていますが、昔、参拝者が安産のお守りとして削って持ち帰ったためだそうです。 かなり細くなっているので危険なのでしょう、今、柱の四隅は鉄のアングルで補強されています。 比比多神社には、歌川国経作の花魁を描いた絵馬が飾られています。神社に花魁、珍しいですね。

    凄くいい神社なのですが、ただいま工事中のため、せっかくのところが残念な感じです。 でも、境内も綺麗で、きりりとした空間です。 桜もすごく綺麗でした。 今年はコロナの影響で人通りは少ないですが、 いつも、もう少し、人がおおいので、寂しい感じがしました。

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
