Futen Manzan Jinguji Temple

4.0

This temple belonging to the Toji Shingon Shu sect of Shingon Buddhism is located about a five-minute walk from the Futenma bus stop or about a five-minute drive from the Kita-Nakagusuku Interchange. The temple, which is adjacent to Futenmagu Shrine, has a history dating back more than 550 years. Built in 1459 on the orders of Sho Taikyu, the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the temple is venerated as a guardian of not only Futenma, but also the entire central region of Okinawa Island. The temple's annual Kannon festival, which is also known as the Futenma Mairi, is held on September 9th on the old lunisolar calendar. Every October the temple holds the Jinguji Festival, which is intended to encourage people of all ages to become more familiar with the temple. The temple also presents visitors with sweets and amulets during the New Year.

普天満山神宮寺♪

近隣の観光と合わせて訪問いたしました。そこまで沖縄らしい建物ではなかったが、ついでとしては十分に楽しめました。行った事の無いエリアの開拓ができました。

すぐ隣の普天間神宮はお祭り時には出店がずらりと並んだり有名ですが、隣のお寺は非常に落ち着いた雰囲気で、立ち寄る価値がありますよ。

住職さんとお話しする機会がありましたがかなりお話し好きの住職さんでした。御朱印お守りを頂くことができるお寺です。普天間宮のすぐ隣です。
