This Buddhist temple is in Nakayamadera Temple, Takarazuka City. Built by Shotoku Taishi, it's regarded as Japan's first sanctuary dedicated to the Bodhisattva Kannon, a goddess of mercy.

Mixing Buddhist and native Shinto elements, it's primary god Kojin is known as a deity of fire, the hearth, and the kitchen.

The precincts also feature the Tessai Museum, which displays the work of the calligrapher Tessai Tomioka."

We enjoyed the walk to the temple from the station. It is lined with interesting shops and restaurants. We visited in Winter so the trees were without leaves and it was quite cold. The turtle pond...

Hyougo Pref. Amagasakishi Teramachi 10

日蓮宗の大きなお寺です。この尼崎の寺町通りに在る日蓮宗の寺院は、他の宗派の寺院に比較して大きな敷地（塔やお堂なども）を持っているような気がします。勝手な想像ですが、日蓮宗の信徒は裕福な商人が多いと聞いていたので、その為かなと思ってしまいました。

織田信長公の傘下で名を馳せた佐々成正公がここで自刃しました。当時のお寺は別の場所で、江戸時代の城下町の整理に伴いここに移って来ました。山門を潜ると左手に供養塔が有ります。信長公に越中一国を任されたほどの猛将佐々公、最後は秀吉公に止めを刺されました。

阪神尼崎駅から徒歩７-８分ほど、寺院が集まった寺町の一角に在る浄土宗のお寺です。山門に柵が有ったので入山できず、山門前からの参拝と撮影でした。余談ですが、和歌山県紀の川市に在る同名の寺院はアニメの聖地になったようですが、ここは静かなものでした。

この地域は浄土真宗の毫摂寺が中心となった寺内町として発展してきました。毫摂寺を見ると、他の寺社仏閣と比較して一回りも二回りも広い境内、伽藍が有ります。豊臣秀吉公もこの寺で休まれたとか。現在の建物は江戸時代末期に建てられたものです。

Hyogo Areas

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
