Banshu Kiyomizu-dera Temple

4.0

"A Buddhist temple located a 20-minute drive from the Sanda-nishi interchange on the Maizuru-Wakasa Expressway. The temple has two main buildings, the Daikodo enshrine a thousand-armed statue of Kannon and the Konponchudo enshrining an 11-headed Kanzeon Bodhisattva which is rarely shown to the public, the temple's principal object of worship. Cherry trees and rhododendrons grow on the grounds and visitors can enjoy the sight of their blossoms from late April to mid-May. The temple is also the 25th temple on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage and, in order to distinguish it from the Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, the temple is also known as the ""Banshu Kiyomizu-dera."""

そこそこ良い寺院でした。紅葉には一週間程度は早かったが・・。何度も西国遍路で参拝していると、改めて地元京都の本家の清水さんと比較してしまうが・・・コロナ禍が第８波に及びそうな世相の中、京都の清水は修学旅行生も含めて、３密どころか、立錐の余地も無い状態だが、播州はやはりローカル、がら空きでした。アクセスが極めて悪いこの寺院だが、今回は貸切バスでの小集団遍路ツアー、楽でした。開山の法道仙人が祈祷して霊...
