Joshoji Temple

3.5

"This Nichiren Buddhist temple is located a one-minute walk from Keikyu Minamiota Station. Famously known as the ""Hariti of Ota,"" the temple enshrines a statue of Kishimojin said to have once been kept in the inner palace in the Edo period. The temple's large main temple building escaped destruction during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 as well as the bombing of Yokohama and famously played a significant role as an accommodation space for victims after these events. The view from the vicinity of the temple's huge statue of the monk Nichiren, which stands on a rise, is spectacular. Visitors can get a sweeping view encompassing the Kannai and Yamashita-cho districts."

見事な桜の木が

Reviewed : 2021.04.02

桜を見に訪問。京急弘明寺駅から南太田駅まで大岡川沿いを散歩。だいぶ散り始めており、見頃は過ぎていましたが、桜吹雪や花筏を見ることができて大満足。例年設置されている屋台はなく、人でもまばらで、ゆっくり見ることができました。

南太田駅のすぐ裏にある寺です。門が京急の高架橋のすぐ下にあり、参道は京急をくぐるという、面白い寺でした。
桜の季節は良い雰囲気です。

横浜散策で立ち寄り。京浜急行南太田駅の裏手の丘にある常照寺。桜が咲く季節は、京急の車窓からの眺めも良く、駅のホームからも綺麗に見えます。比較的人も少な目なので、参拝がてら、境内でも満開の桜を楽しめるスポットです。
