In my last post, I visited a shrine with a 400years old cherry tree!
And I visited a temple near the shrine!
This is the scene at the end of March.
Cherry blossoms are blooming around the temple entrance😊
It is the entrance gate↓
There was an image of the map of the whole temple on the official website.
That gate is the place labeled "山門(風神雷神門)" at the bottom of the image↓
There is a large lantern under the gate↓
Those are the statues of the Fu-jin(風神) and the Rai-jin(雷神).
Their names mean "wind god" and "thunder god"↓
Entrance fee is required from this entrance↓
Wash your hands and mouth here😊↓
A large Japanese garden welcomes you↓
Big growing pine
I climbed the stairs to get to the temple place
There is a "Nio-zou(仁王像)" at the end of the stairs↓
They protect the temple together↓
Beautiful cherry blossoms in front of the temple↓
It's a 170 year old cherry
The flowers are in full bloom.
I was able to see the cherry blossoms at the perfect time.
Very beautiful😊
And here is the temple.
The name is "Shodenin(聖天院)"
The temple is very large.
It was built in AD 751. An old Korean king built a temple and shrine here
This temple was on the verge of collapse due to a major disaster.
But the monk protected and rebuilt this place
And this place is a tower tomb for the old Koreans↓
There are many cherry blossoms around here, so it seems that there will be an event that lights up the cherry blossoms at night.
but I basically never go out at night so I never see it↓
A place to rest↓
Amulets are on sale↓
This temple is about 5 minutes on foot from the shrine I posted last time.
I go to the shrine every month for prayer.
A place that I really love😊
Thank you for reading!
Arigatou gozaimashita!
