    Shimoda, Shizuoka prefecture 1-18-26
    This temple of the Jodo Shinshu sect in Shizuoka Prefecture’s Shimoda City was the Shimoda magistrate’s office at the end of the Edo Shogunate, and served as lodgings for the Shogunate government officials during Japan-U.S. negotiations then. It is famous as a temple where Kaishu Katsu gave an audience to Yodo Yamauchi, the feudal lord of Tosa, and had him pardon Ryoma Sakamoto’s crime of becoming a lordless samurai. The room where this happened has been left as it was at the time. On the premises is the grave of the geisha Okichi, who met an unnatural death after serving the American consul Townsend Harris, and there is also the Tojin Okichi Memorial Hall which displays photos and mementos of Okichi.

    A small temple at the end of the road by the Black Ship museum makes for a good turn around point. ;)

    Shizuoka Pref. Shimodashi Kakisaki 31-6
    "The Gyokusenji Temple is a Buddhist temple located two minutes' walk from the Kakizaki-jinja-mae bus stop. It is a 400-year-old temple belonging to the Soto School of Zen Buddhism which has been designated as a National Historic Site. The Gyokusenji Temple is famous for having been used as a venue for the second and third rounds of negotiations leading up to the signing of the Treaty of Shimoda (Peace and Friendship Treaty) between Japan and Russia in 1855. It was also used to house the first U.S. consulate in Japan, and thus played a role in the opening up of Japan to foreign trade in the last years of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The Temple was the backdrop to the events dramatized in ""O-Kichi Monogatari,"" which relates to five women who worked as servants at the consulate. Within the Temple cemetery are the tombs of five crewmen of the ""Black Ships"" (as they were known in Japan) of Commodore Perry's U.S. fleet, as well as a crewman of the ""Diana"" and a crewman of the ""Askold."""

    ハリスが日本最初の領事館を開いた寺です。アメリカ大統領であったカーターも訪れました。 ハリス記念館では、幕末の貴重な資料を見る事ができます。見学者は我々だけで貸し切り状態でした。 行きは下田駅からタクシーで６分ほどで到着。帰りはちょうどよいバスがなかったので、大通りまで歩きながらタクシーを呼びましたが、下田駅まで歩けたかもしれません。

    This is a temple of the Chisan sect of Shingon—it is the 40th temple where amulets may be offered out of the 88 Holy Places. The temple was the location of the signing of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between Japan and Russia and the place where the ratification documents for the US-Japan Treaty of Peace and Amity were exchanged, and it is reported that the temple was founded by Takamichi in 1557. It has also been designated as a Historic Site by Shomoda City. On the grounds of the temple, it is also possible to visit the treasure hall dedicated to the Oyoshi Kannon and the tragic love of Osumi Benten (goddess of arts and wisdom). The temple has also been gathering faith as a temple which issues amulets for Izu’s Seven Deities of Good Luck tour. It is located 15 minutes by foot from Izukyu-line Shimoda Station.

    下田のペリーロードぞいにあるお寺。1854年、ロシアとの日露和親条約締結の地となったところです。小さなお寺ですが、日本の歴史の舞台となったところです。

    Shizuoka Pref. Kamogunkawaduchou Yatsu 256
    This temple is in Yatsu, Kawazu Town, Kamo County. It was founded in 1319 by monk Tokkei Kakusho. Legend says that the chief monk once saved the life of a kappa (a mythical river monster) that lived in the river flowing nearby, and the kappa gave the temple a pot that is still venerated in the main temple hall today. They hold the Kyuri Fuji rite here, in which cucumbers are used as effigies of the body to aid in driving out demonic diseases, pray for sound health, and wish fulfillment.

    以前の体験ですが・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ 桜で有名な河津川のすぐ近くにあるお寺で、「河童の瓶」という言い伝えのある土器があるそうです。寺の入り口の横には瓶を持った河童の銅像が飾られていました。私が訪問した時に、住職と思われる方から「御朱印帳があればお先に出して」と声をかけていただきました。親切です。やはり近頃の流行で、御朱印を集める人が多いのですね。 [写真はこちら]https://w...

    Shizuoka Kamo-gun Higashiizucho Inatori 563-1
    This temple belonging to the Kencho-ji School of the Rinzai Sect of Zen Buddhism is located about a two-minute walk from Izu-Inatori Station. The temple is just around the first right corner on Ekimae-dori Street heading southeast from the station. The kaya (Torreya nucifera) tree on the temple grounds, which estimated to be about 750 years old, has been designated as a Prefectural Natural Monument. The tree is so famous that the temple is also called Kaya-dera Temple. The temple is part of Hachigadera, a cluster of eight temples in Inatori. We recommend visiting the temple along with the other seven temples. Visitors can divine their fortunes using Mani-guruma (a prayer wheel) after first exorcising their misfortune by walking the Fudo Shosai no Michi. Other points of interest include the temple's treasure house, which contains the Heiwa Shaka Nyorai, a statue of the Buddha that is a National Treasure of Burmese (now Myanmar).

    伊豆稲取駅舎を出て前の道路を稲取漁港方面に行き直ぐ右側です。お寺の案内看板が大きく出ており、鐘楼と大木が見えます。正門から入り右側にかやの大樹があり榧の寺と呼ばれているそうです。静岡県指定天然記念物の榧の木の傍にある丸い玉に触れてパワーを頂きましょうとありました。パワースポットなのでしょうか。正面に本堂、左側には世界一ビルマの佛鐘、なでぼとけや石仏等々ありました。また、宝物館、不動消炎の道、占い摩...

    This temple is located about a 15-minute walk from Izukyu-Shimoda Station on the Izu Kyuko Line. The temple, which belongs to the Jodo-shu sect of Pure Land Buddhism, is said to have been founded in the mid-15th century. The temple's Amida Hall, which is located on the right just beyond the temple's gate, enshrines a seated statue of Amidanyorai designated as a cultural property of Shimoda City. To the left of the gate is Tsunamizuka, a mound erected in the memory of those lost in the 1854 tsunami. The temple features the grave of the shipwright Tsurumatsu, who was the lover of Saito Kichi known as Tojin O-kichi, the young geisha who served as a concubine the American Consul General Townsend Harris. Visitors can also enjoy viewing the light purple flowers of the wisteria trellis on the temple's grounds in the early summer.

    船大工・鶴松の墓は稲田寺、お吉の墓は宝福寺です。先に訪れたのは宝福寺で後からホテルの迎車時間待ちに訪れました。唐人お吉ちのストーリを知ってから、ここの鶴松の墓をお参りしました。空想物語でなく事実の話なのでロマン派にはどう思うでしょうか。下田駅からすぐで一番近いお寺で「うどん屋のむさし」のそばです。

    Shizuoka Kamo-gun Nishiizucho Naka 24-1
    "This temple belonging to the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism is located along the Ito-Nishiizu Line (Prefectural Route 59) about a 10-minute drive from Dogashima, a place of scenic beauty known as the Matsushima of Izu. The pristine Nishina River flows just past the belfry gate of the temple, which is the 83rd temple on the Izu 88 Temple Pilgrimage. It is said to have been established in 1233 as Tenfukuji Temple before its name was changed to Tofukuji Temple. The ceiling of the main temple building features a late Taisho period plaster relief depicting the Five Hundred Arhats. The celestial maidens arranged on the four corners of the relief represent heaven. It is said to have been created by a craftsman nicknamed ""Nonbe-yasu"" for his heavy drinking."

    Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture 3-12-12
    This temple is located in Shimoda City, Shizuoka Prefecture which was built in 1635 with the support of the 2nd Shimoda “bugyo” (shogunate magistrate), Denshiro Masanaga Imamura. In the Edo period, Shimoda was where the magistrates’ office was located and was known as Edo’s gateway to the sea. It was also known as the place where the Japan-US Treaty of Peace and Amity was concluded between Perry and the Japanese authorities at the end of the Tokugawa period. Hundreds of American Jasmine were planted all along the approach road to the grounds of the temple, so the temple also has the pseudonym of “Jasmine Temple”. The jasmine flowers do be in full bloom from the middle of May up to late May and also in July and September, one-third in bloom. The temple is located 10 minutes by foot from Izukyu-line Shimoda Station.

    きれいな湧水があったのでしょうか。山号も寺号からもそんな感じが伺えます。 なまこ壁と赤い鐘楼門がかなり目立ちますね。 門の左側が墓地で、その奥の経堂に回転式の輪蔵があります。 本堂は年季が入った感じで、石段の脇に地蔵が何体も並んでいました。 いろいろ見どころのあるお寺です。

    松崎町中心地から下田に向かう婆娑羅峠方面にあります。元からの渡来僧一山一寧によって開かれた寺です。元の時代…怪しまれて当然ですが、修禅寺へ幽閉された後に鎌倉のあの建長寺や京都の南禅寺の住職までに上り詰めたと言われています。お遍路さんのように御朱印ウォークの一つとして巡ることもできますが、苔で敷き詰められた境内や古き味わいのある本堂を眺めるだけで心が落ち着きます。

    西伊豆ドライブの際に行ったお寺らさん。 山の麓に建っていて綺麗な整備された庭や樹木が雰囲気が良く、本堂の屋根のカーブがなんとなく魅入ってしまう外観を醸し出していました。隣にある大王神社？の歴史観ただよう感じも相まって趣がありました。 駐車場は港の端にあります。

    西伊豆ドライブで寄ったお寺さん。 山の麓にあって4月で温かく快晴の中、鶯が鳴いていてほのぼのとした雰囲気でした。本堂前にある松がキノコのように丸く剪定されていて、なかなか接しやすい感じで面白かったです。 アクセスは普通車で行きましたが、狭い道を進み分岐後はちょっときびしかったです。どこか広い場所に停めて歩いてアクセスが良いかもしれません。

Shizuoka Areas

around-area-map

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
