    Yamagata Pref. Yamagatashi Yamadera 4456-1
    A temple of the Tendai sect, Hoshuyama Risshakuji is located across the Tachiya River from JR Yamadera Station on the Senzan Line. Normally called “Yamadera”, it was opened by Ennin in 860 by decree of Emperor Seiwa. Currently, it is designated a Zao Quasi-National Park, with 1,090,000 square meters green lot with about 30 towers—the most historic holy mountain in the Tohoku region. A famous haiku poet Matsuo Basho wrote “Shizukasa ya iwa ni shimiiru semi no koe (Such stillness / The cries of the cicadas / Sink into the rocks)” here. Its remnants remain as “semi-zuka,” and many poets like Mokichi Saito have poems inscribed here.

    The pictures you find on the internet from this place looks better than the actual place. Most of the climb is just stairs with a few small statues along the way. Most of the path is covered in...

    Yamagata Pref. Sagaeshi Jionji Cadastral 31
    Honzan Jionji Temple is located in Jionji in the city of Sagae. It is said to have been founded in 746 by Baramon Sojo. During the Edo period (1615-1868) it controlled 18 villages and land that produced about 505,095 liters of rice, making it the most powerful temple in the Tohoku region. Even though its influence has shrunk in the present day, its former precincts have been designated a National Historic Site, and it contains many Important Cultural Properties, including its main building and collection of Buddhist statues, as well as Jionji Bugaku, a type of dance performed during the Issai Kyoe Festival, held on May 5 every year.

    As a previous noted, visit the museum at the bottom of the hill for an overall understanding of this mountain complex going back well over a thousand years. There are artefacts, some explanations in...

    Yamagata Pref. Tendoushi Yamamoto 2205-1
    Jakushou-ji Temple is a Tendai Buddhist temple located on the slopes of Mr. Reiyu in Tendo City. It is the first stop in the 33 Kannon Temples pilgrimage, and is also known as Jakushou Kannon Temple. According to tradition, the Temple was founded in 708 A.D. by the bodhisattva Gyoki, who saw a vision of 33 images of the Buddhist deity Kannon on Mt. Reiyu after being led to the site by the sound of a bell. Praying to Kannon at Jakushou-ji Temple is said to bring good luck with respect to love and marriage, and it is also said that visitors who ring the large “Enfuku” wind-bell in the Temple will be blessed with a happy partnership. The Temple’s Kannon Hall and its gilt-bronze round plaque bearing an image of Kannon have both been designated as Important Cultural Properties, as has a colored ita-e (painting on a wooden panel) depicting heavenly horses.

    縁結びで有名なお寺です。縁結び祈願の絵馬がたくさんありました。 雨が降っていましたが、なんだか荘厳な雰囲気で身が引き締まるような感覚になりました。またお遍路の1番所でこれからお遍路に回る予定の方がいらっしゃいました。たまたま聞けたのですが、おいずりの色が3種類あって、赤は両親が健在の方、青は片親しか生きていない人、白は両親がどちらともいない方、のようです。

    Yamagata Yamagata-shi Shakado Kami Karamatsu 502
    This temple is in Kamikaramatsu, Shakado, Yamagata City. This is the 5th temple on the Mogami 33 Kannon pilgrimage, and enshrines a Holy Land Kannon Bodhisattva statue said to be made by Kobo Daishi as the principal object of worship. It is unknown when it was founded. The Kannon-do hall is believed to date back to 1661, when the lord of Yamagata Castle, Matsudaira Tadahiro, had it built on a cliff face to copy Kiyomizu-dera Temple, but the current temple was rebuilt in the Showa period.

    もみじ公園を見学した後で歩いて向かいました。アクセスはやや中途半端な場所にあります。ただ、お寺自体は大変立派で山形市内の寺院の中で最も広いそう。わずか15歳で処刑されてしまった山形城主最上義光の娘の駒姫の菩提寺てあるだけのことはありました。

    Yamagata Yamagata-shi Yakushimachi 2-8-88

    出羽の国、国分寺。町名に薬師さまの名前が残っています。護国神社や馬見ヶ崎が近くです。境内は広く大きな本堂が目に入ります。本堂は明治期の大火で焼失し他から移築されたとか。座ってお参りできる薬師様が有名です。この周辺は春の植木市で有名です。馬見ヶ崎の近くに山形交通の営業所がありますが近年市内のバス路線は縮小傾向なので時間を確かめるか、自転車・徒歩での見学になると思います。 観光案内標識が整備されていな...

    最上一族の菩提寺。最上義光のお墓もここにあります。最上家は義光の三代の後、お家騒動で国替え。この菩提寺だけが残りました。 見所は裏手にある日本庭園。こんもりと森に囲まれた池を背景にした正統派の作りでした。

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
