    井伊家の菩提寺であり、井伊家の勃興に深く関わりのある寺です。鉄道とバスを乗り継いでいくことも出来ますが、本数が少ないため、多くの参拝客は自家用車やレンタカーを利用します。 本堂の北側に位置する庭園が素晴らしいですが、この庭園に限らず、境内の至る所が素晴らしいです。本堂に入るところから有料であるため、無料で本堂北側の庭園も愛でることは出来ませんが、無料で立ち入ることが出来るエリアも全てにおいて丁寧に...

    Shizuoka Hamamatsu-shi Chuo-ku Kanzanjicho 2231
    "Records state this ancient Soto Buddhist temple was founded in 810 during the Heian period. The temple was originally a Shingon Buddhist temple which bore the honorary mountain name of ""Chureizan,"" but after the Meiji period movement to expel Buddhism, the temple's honorific mountain name was changed to ""Akihasan"" and the temple itself became the Soto Buddhist temple it is today. Located in the deepest reaches of the local hot spring district, the temple's principal object of worship is a statue called the ""Fukuichi Akasagarbha."" A Kshitigarbha (Jizo) statue stands on the east side of the main temple which is called the Enmusubi Jizo and which is believed to bring luck in finding love and marriage. The shelter around the statue is covered with ema votive tablets, hung by worshippers, which are decorated with the Japanese character for ""heart"" and an image of a lock, a design the temple has used on its ema since ancient times."

    Shizuoka Hamamatsu-shi Tenryu-ku Yamahigashi 2873
    This ancient Buddhist temple was founded by the noted priest Gyoki in 717 during the Nara period. The temple enshrines a statue of Daikokuten (Mahakala) which is believed to be one of the largest in the country. The four-meter-high statue was carved from a single Japanese cedar tree.

From the temple's inner sanctuary, located a 10-minute hike up a mountain from the main temple complex, you can get a sweeping view of Hamamatsu City. The temple is also famous for its shikizakura cherry trees, which bloom in winter and create a beautiful contrast with the area's delayed fall foliage.

    Shizuoka Pref. Hamamatsushi Hamana-ku Hosoechounakagawa 65-2

    駐車場から歩いて、1分位で、拝観券売り場や、本堂に着きますので、気楽に訪問できますよ。本堂は修理中で、外観を見ることはできませんでした。安置されている仏像には、間借りしているような小さい像が20余りあるのですが、注目は、札に名が4つあって1つが天照大神のものです。ただ、像は3体なのです。謎です。

    Shizuoka Hamamatsu-shi Hamana-ku Mikkabicho Fukunaga 220-3
    An ancient temple in the Shingon Sect of Buddhism located at the foot of Lake Oku-Hamana. The temple was initially opened as the Bankyo-ji Temple in 875 during the early Heian Period by celebrated monk Kyotai.

The Daifuku-ji Natto fermented soybeans made at the temple are a specialty of Mikkabi Town and have a long history, having been presented to both the Ashikaga and Tokugawa Shoguns. Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu highly looked forward to the arrival of the natto, made using secret techniques known only to members of temple, and he christened it Hamana Natto which was shortened to the modern name of Hama-Natto.

    Shizuoka Hamamatsu-shi Tenryu-ku Harunocho Ryoke 848
    "This Buddhist temple is dedicated to the Akiha Sanjakubo Daigongen, a manifestation of the Buddha as a Shinto god of fire protection appearing as a long-nosed Japanese goblin called a tengu.

During the temple's Fire Festival, held each year on December 15 and 16, a ceremony is performed to pray that the protection from fire the temple is purported to endow grows even stronger. The temple is famous for its fire walking event, known as the ""Ascetic Training of the Four Heavenly Kings,"" in which parishioners walk barefooted one at a time over the hot coals of a consecrated homa fire."

    Shizuoka Hamamatsu-shi Tenryu-ku Futamatacho Futamata 1405
    Records state this ancient Buddhist temple was originally built as a hermitage by a priest in 1405. The temple is dedicated to Matsudaira Nobuyasu, the eldest son of the mighty Tokugawa Ieyasu who committed seppuku at Futamata Castle after he came under suspicion for plotting to overthrow the powerful samurai lord Oda Nobunaga. The true start of the temple is viewed to have occurred in 1579 when a temple was built here to memorialize Nobuyasu and enshrine a statue of Avalokitesvara believed to have been created by the famed priest Gyoki. The temple's main temple building was destroyed in disasters numerous times; construction of the current main temple building was completed in the late Meiji period after it was seriously damaged in a typhoon in 1870. The main temple's inner sanctum enshrines a wooden statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu as well as mortuary tablets for Nobuyasu and various Tokugawa clan shoguns.

    お彼岸参りに行ってきました。 お彼岸のお中日を過ぎた土曜日に行きましたが、予想より混雑もありませんでした。鴨江寺に併設された駐車場もスムーズに車を止める事ができました。 境内には、露店が並んでいました。仁王門から入りまずは、水向け地蔵尊を参拝、そして階段を上り、本堂へ手前のテントに線香と蝋燭を販売するところがあり線香を購入しました。 香炉に線香を備えて本堂を参拝しました。

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.
