Naritasan Shinshoji Temple

4.0

Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is a lead temple in the Chisan school of Shingon located in Narita, Chiba Prefecture. In order to suppress a revolt by Tairano Masakado which broke out in the Heian period, it began with the fact that Kobo Daishi was spiritually enlightened by the high priest Kancho as Acala was enshrined and became the principal image of worship at the temple. Many well-known figures had strong faith including such figures as Minamotono Yoritomo, Mito Mitsukuni and Ichikawa Danjuro, and Narita Fudo prompted many commoners to have faith. On the grounds of the temple, there are very big gardens maintained which cover an area of approximately 3.5 times that of Tokyo Dome, and you can see seasonal plants in the garden.

昔の本堂です

安政年間に本堂として建てられ、大本堂が建てられた昭和期に現在の地に移築されました。本堂として建てられたとしたら、少し小ぶりかなと感じます。現在の本堂の西側に在ります。

1858年に建立された旧本堂です。現在は釈迦堂として境内の東側、新勝寺裏門から入ると本堂の手前にあります。御朱印あります。
見応えのある彫刻群

江戸末期に建立された元の本堂で国の重要文化財です。鳳凰や文殊菩薩、千手観音に加え、なんといっても表情豊かな五百羅漢が見事です。仕方ないかもしれませんが、保護用の金網のせいでとても見づらいのが残念でした。
