    Hokkaido Hakodate-shi Motomachi 16-15
    This Buddhist temple burned down in 1907 and was rebuilt in 1915 as the first reinforced concrete structure in the country. The temple has been designated a National Important Cultural Property.

    東本願寺函館別院とも呼ばれる寺院で、現存する鉄筋コンクリート造りの寺院としては日本最古だそうです。函館の建築物に関しては、大火の影響を受けたものが多いですが、これもその典型的な例だと思います。堂々とした建物でした。

    Hokkaido Hakodate-shi Funamicho 21-11
    This is one of many temples such as Jitsugyo-ji Temple and Shomyo-ji Temple, near Hakodate Fishing Port. The temple was originally built in 1633 and relocated once, until being moved to the current location in 1879 due to two fires. Ten of the buildings in the precinct have been dedicated as nationally registered tangible cultural properties. Time flies looking at the lavish and intricate detail of the artistic style and carvings of Edo era craftsmen. Visitors can also see both English and French-style wall fences. Every year in October there is an exhibition of the temple's treasures.

    We were in the area looking at the cemetery for Foreigners when we came across this magnificent old Buddhist Temple . A very big complex all made from wood, beautifully done , the carvings are so...

    Hokkaido Hakodate-shi Funamicho 18-14
    A one-minute walk from the Shomyojidori bus stop. Located close to the Old Russian Consulate, this Buddhist temple adjoins the Jitsugyo-ji Temple. Founded in 1644, the temple was moved to its current location in 1881. The temple is located on a history-leaden site which was once used as a temporary troop headquarters during the changing of the Hakodate Magistrate, and also for temporary British and French consulate when the port was first opened. The temple grounds are also the site of numerous graves and monuments belonging to or honoring eminent persons such as Hijikata Toshizo and the first magistrate of Hakodate.

    There are many Buddhist temples in this area. Shoumyouji temple of the Joudo sect is one of the oldest temples in Hakodate established in the Edo era and relocated to the current site in the early...

    土方歳三とかかれた御朱印もらえます。五稜郭の星形のはんこもかっこいい御朱印でした。 門前で、表に函館、裏に五稜郭と書かれたモスグリーンの御朱印帳が買えます。新製品らしいですが、おしゃれだったので買ってきました。

    Hokkaido Hakodate-shi Sumiyoshicho 16-1

    立待岬へと向かう道は細い道で、そのために一方通行になっていました。私たちは函館公園から立待岬へと向かいましたが、その狭い道の両側は墓地になっていて、その中には石川啄木一族の墓もありました。 こちらの地蔵堂は、お墓が並ぶ手前の左手にあるお寺でした。

    Hokkaido Hakodate-shi Yunokawacho 3-chome 35-10

    函館山に西国三十三か所巡礼の観音像が置かれたのは天保年間だそうですが、明治中期、函館山を要塞化し立ち入り禁止にしたことで観音像は山の下へ下ろされました。観音像は湯川村に連れてこられた後この湯川寺に集められたそうです。戦後になって観音像は函館山のもとあった場所に戻されましたが、お寺では寂しくならぬようレプリカを並べて「庭園型」と称しています。三十三か所巡礼が数分で終わってしまうようでは御利益のかけら...

    宿泊したホテルの目の前でした。 市電の電停からも直ぐ近くで、道路側に面した山門が目立っていました。 境内は正面に本堂が立ち、場所柄から寒冷地仕様の建築物と見受けられました。 又、正面の右手には完全密閉型の地蔵堂がありました。

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
