Joroku-ji Temple

4.0

The Joroku-ji Temple is a Soto-school Buddhist temple located in Tokushima City. The temple’s honorific “mountain name” is Zuirin-zan; its full formal name is Zuirin-zan Jiun-in Joroku-ji; it is the 24th temple on the Awa-Chichibu Kannon Temples 34-temple Pilgrimage. According to the temple’s own traditions, the Joroku-ji Temple was founded in 650, making it a very ancient temple. Besides the Hon-do (main hall), there are many National Important Cultural Properties in the temple, including the Sanmon gate, the Kannon-do hall, and the Kyozo (Scripture House), and as a result the Jorouku-ji Temple has become known as the “Awa region’s Horyu-ji Temple” (the Horyu-ji Temple in Nara is famous for its antiquity and its many treasures). The bloodstained floorboards from the treacherous attack on Shingai Sanetsuna by Motochika Chosokabe in the temple in 1582 have been preserved as part of the ceiling of the Tokuun-in hall; dark patches that are believed to be the vestiges of the bloodstains from the victims’ hands and feet can still be seen today.

重要文化財があるらしく、わかる人にはわかるのでしょうが・・・紅葉が素晴らしいです。山門に続く道が何とも風流でした。入口付近には小さな川？堀？があり、たくさんの鯉がひしめいていました。人は少なく、山中のお寺のような静かで厳かな雰囲気がありました。
是非‼️ オススメ

四国にあって曹洞宗のお寺なのであまりガイドブック等に無い為か穴場的な感じです。平日に訪れたのですが私達以外は誰もいなかったのでゆっくり見学できました。看板通りに行くと少し細い道を通り駐車場に行くのですが、細い道に入る手前の道端に駐車スペースがありそこから参道を通って行く方が趣を感じられます。お寺はそこそこ広く見所も多数あります。山門、血天井跡、観音堂等。御朱印は本堂の横側から住居の方のイ...
