Tanjoji Temple

3.5

Tanjoji Temple was built in 1276 in the present-day Kominato area of the city of Kamogawa, the birthplace of Nichiren, the founder of Nichiren Buddhism. It was moved to its present location after an earthquake in 1703. In 1758, a fire destroyed all the temple buildings except Niomon Gate. This surviving structure has been designated a Prefectural Tangible Cultural Property. On February 16 of each year, a festival called Shuso Goko Tan-e is held to commemorate Nichiren's birthday. A portable shrine with an image of Nichiren as a child is carried around in a procession called O-Neri Gyoretsu.

境内、とても美しく、特にどの松も圧巻でした！また、境内から湾岸を観れ、街の風景がノスタルジックでよかったです。

御朱印が欲しいと思い訪問してみました。参道には土産物屋があるものの開いてるのは１軒のみで他はシャッターが下りてました。立派な寺ですが裏手はお墓だらけで広くはありません。このお寺と遊覧船をセットで巡る観光スポットでした。尚、クルマで行くと周辺には無料の駐車場はありません。有料で２時間６００円の駐車場を利用することになります。
