Aburisan Oyamadera Temple

4.0

"This temple is located in Oyama, Isehara City. Founded in the year 755 by the Buddhist monk Roben, founder of Todaiji Temple in Nara Prefecture. Its primary object of worship is the Oyamafudozo statue cast by the Buddhiest priest Gangyo Shonin in 1264. A number of sacred places were established around the temple when the Buddhiest monk Kukai served as its chief priest. These sacred grounds are worshiped even today as part of a creed known as Oyama Nanafushigi (the Seven Wonders of Oyama). Visitors to the temple can perform a ritual called ""kawara nage"" in which sundried earthenware are thrown off a cliff to ward off evil and misfortune."

Amazing red leaves around Oyama temple.Luckily I could see Kokuhou (national treasure) which was limited time available to visitors! Fudomyouou statue was great!
大山詣に宿坊が門前に沢山有ります。

大山ケーブルカーの「大山ケーブル駅」と「阿夫利神社駅」の中間に位置する駅で、上りと下りのケーブルカーがすれ違うため必ず停車する駅である。ケーブルカーは日中20分ごとの運行なので、フリーパスを持っているならば途中下車して大山寺に立ち寄ることもできる。
