    Chiba Pref. Tateyamashi Funakata 835
    "The popular name for Daifukuji Temple is ""Gake Kannon"" (""Cliff Kannon""). Located in Funakata in the city of Tateyama, it was founded by the Nara period (eighth century) monk Gyoki, who was on a walking pilgrimage of the eastern provinces. It is said that he carved an image of Eleven-headed Kannon into the cliff face of Mt. Funakata as a way of praying for safety on the seas and bountiful fishing for the local fishermen. A temple devoted to Kannon is built in front of the image to guard it, and from inside, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Tateyama Bay and Izu Oshima Island."

    Traveling to the southern part of Boso Peninsular in Chiba Prefecture used to be a long trip on single lane roads, but with the completion of the motorway, it has become much more accessible. The...

    This temple located in Tateyama City, Chiba Prefecture is known for the large 16-meter tall, 30-ton Buddha statue on its grounds. This statue is said to be the World's largest one made of bronze, and it is believed that it can bring the achievement of your desires and bless those with poor mobility.

    Chiba Pref. Minamibousoushi Chikurachouonuki 1057
    This Buddhist temple was founded some 1,400 years ago by the ascetic En no Ozunu (Gyoja). The temple later underwent an expansion thanks to donations from famed shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu and daimyo lord Satomi Yoshiyasu, and many monks came here to train and study. The temple was completely destroyed twice by fires and the current temple is believed to have been rebuilt in 1855. The temple's grounds are a renowned destination for fall foliage viewing and, during the temple's autumn leaves festival in November, many tourists make their way here.

    The best time to go is in fall, especially in late November to December. The foliage is amazing and brings many visitors each year. If you go during the festival, you can get warm soup or be entered...

    Chiba Minamiboso-shi Kubo 587

    ちょうど安房三古寺特別公開というイベント中で、行基開山のこちらでは行基自身が一本の木から掘り出したといわれる千手観音を拝むことができました。この千手観音は霊験が強すぎ、のちに円仁が覆面をかぶせたというもので珍しいものです。大黒様も慈覚の手によるものといわれていて、考えるとなかなかにありがたい場所だと思います。敷地全体もちょっとした遊歩道のようになっていて楽しめます。
