    This temple is part of the Nanzen-ji Temple of Rinzai Sect, and is the 15th on the Chugoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage. It is famous for its Kyokusui Garden, designed by a famous garden designer Shigemori Mirei. They also hold events like Special Evening Visit days, when crowds of guests come to see the beautiful gardens and Kanyo-ji temple lit up with bamboo lanterns.

    山奥の里にある立派なお寺、という感じ。そこそこの大きさの駐車場があり、お寺の横まで車でも心配なく行くことができた。石を使った造形の庭がすばらしく、特に400円を納めて見せていただいた本堂周りのお庭は、岩、石、潮音洞から流れ出る疎水の水を幾枝にも分けて引き入れた小川のハーモニーが絶妙で、幾種類もの違った感じの庭が楽しめた。昭和以降に造成された庭のようだが、枯山水、池泉、各様式が融合したこれぞ日本庭園...

    Yamaguchi Hikari-shi Murozumi 8-6-1
    "An ancient Buddhist temple founded in the year 1006. Since long ago faithful from all over the country have believed in it as the ""Bodhisattva of the Sea."" The inner part of the temple grounds has a dry landscape garden with skillfully harmonized trees and stones which is said to have been created by Sesshu. It's renowned because it was made during the period when dry landscape garden construction began in earnest. It has been designated as a prefectural Place of Scenic Beauty. In 1865 it served as the headquarters for the Choshu Domain troops known as the South Kihei Army as the Tokugawa period drew to a close; it's famous for being the place where about 400 soldiers met their ends."

    大きな仁王門があり、お堀に囲まれた立派なお寺。お寺だけでなく、戦前の国際連盟の脱退や日独伊三国同盟で有名な外交官（このあたりの生まれ）松岡洋右の顕彰碑がお寺の裏の方にひっそりと建っていた。また、お寺の裏の駐車場の近くには、峨嵋山の自然探求歩道の入り口があった。お寺の隣には雪舟の庭園と言われる枯山水の庭園があったが、100円を箱に入れて見ることができた。この庭に入る前に警備システムが監視音を発してい...

    Yamaguchi Shunan-shi Nagaho 1075-1
    This famous Soto sect temple was established in 1429. Morimasa, the fifth generation of the Sue clan, established this temple as a family temple and enshrined the Sue clan, who were vassals of the Ouchi clan in the Muromachi period (1336-1573). The location of Morimasa's tomb is no longer known, but there are many other memorial sites, such as the Sue clan's Japanese stone pagoda and five-ringed pagoda. The Nembutsu Odori, a traditional performing art handed down in the temple, was once danced as a memorial service to the Sue clan and eventually changed into a dance to pray for rain and was passed down as an intangible folk cultural property of the prefecture. The city has a special-order tea kettle, an important cultural property designated by the city, and the history of the area is being passed down to the present day.

    This place totally rocks. I can recommend Ryumonji to anyone. Long time practitioner or just curious. Beautiful setting and a nice atmosphere.

    Yamaguchi Kudamatsu-shi Naka 1-10-15
    A Buddhist temple located in 1 Chome, Nakaichi, Kudamatsu City. It's an ancient temple honored as the guardian deity of the Ouchi clan, whose influence in Yamaguchi Prefecture expanded until the Sengoku period. Temple lore says it was built by Rinsho Taishi, the founder of the Ouchi clan. Daikokuten (one of the Seven Lucky Gods) is also enshrined, and the Daikoku Market is held there annually on January 7th.

    真言宗御室派の寺院でしたが、寺号の先には鳥居が立ち、参道先の山門もまるで神社のように見えてしまいました。正面の本堂以外にもお堂が立ち、広い境内の中には境内社も立つ事から神仏習合時代の名残のように見受けられました。

    Yamaguchi Shunan-shi Kume Innai 3936

    櫛ヶ浜駅直ぐ近くに立つ寺院でした。目の前と云って良さそうでしたが、駅舎とは反対側にある為、遠回りせざるを得ない立地でした。少し高台になっている為、境内に上がるには石段か坂がありましたが、逆に境内からの眺望は開けていました。

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
