総光寺の立派な山門に向かう参道にはきのこ杉という面白い形に剪定された杉が立ち並び見ごたえがあります。山門は１８１１年のもので200年もたっている歴史あるものです。 本堂の裏には庭園もあり見どころ多い寺院です。

- Yamagata Pref. Akumigunyuzamachi Fukura Nishidate
- These are 16 statues of Buddha carved on a rock face along the Ushu Road in Nishidate, Fukura, Yuza Town. These statues were completed in 1868 by the high priest Kankai the 21st high priest of Fukura-kaizenji Temple for the purpose of offering prayers to those lost at sea and for marine safety. Grouped together with the 16 Rakan, are statues of Shakamuni and Monju, making a total of twenty-two. Being the largest site of this kind on the Japan Sea coast, it has been selected as 'one of the top 100 fishery and fishing village historic assets to be preserved for future generations.' Every year in late July the 16 Rakan Festival is held where the statues are beautifully lit up.

この辺りはお寺が並ぶ寺町ですが、中でもこちらのお寺の三重塔が一番目立っていました。広い境内に入ると、すぐ右手に三重塔が見えました。その向かいには、２つの小さなお堂があり、中を覗けました。境内の一番奥は立派な赤茶色の瓦屋根の本堂がありました。

参道沿いに多くの仏様が並んでいました。この前を通るときは、なんとなく心が見透かされているような感想を持ちますね。曹洞宗の寺院で本堂前の大木が印象に残りました。

素晴らしい雰囲気のお寺です。行ったことのない方にはオススメです。非常に歴史を感じるのは年代かと思いますが、あまり修復もしていないからと感じました。

寺伝によると１４５８年本寺海晏寺の第３世正全を開祖として開山した曹洞宗寺院です。入り口の寺号を刻んだ石柱があり、小さな美しい山門に向かう参道があります。山門を抜けると立派な三重塔が見え、大寺の風格のある寺院です。現在地には最上氏時代に現在地に移転したそうです。

Yamagata Areas
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.
