    5月下旬に駐車場エリアから、まずは朱色の2つアーチのある観音橋を渡りました。緑豊かな渓谷は清々しかったです。その後さらに10分ほど山を登り立國寺に到着しました。源頼朝にゆかりのあるお寺らしいですがシンプルな造りでした。 観音橋から立國寺までの山道の散策はほど良い運動で心地良かったです。

    Chiba Kisarazu Chuo 1-3-15

    JR木更津駅西口前の富士見通りを歩いて2分位進んだ信号を右折して1分位の右手に山門があるかなり広い寺院です。 山門を入ってもそれ程歴史を感じないが、参道途中の両側に並ぶ小さな石像を見ると歴史を感じます。 正面にある本堂は、あまり寺院らしくない造りで、それ程年月が経ってなうように見えます。 訪ねた折は誰とも会わずとても静かな境内で、落ち着くことが出来るところでした。

    瓦葺きの山門の脇、石段を見下ろす位置に大きなスダジイがあります。 いくつも枝が切られていたり、折れていたりしますが、樹冠の勢いは失われていません。 境内側から見ると赤い山門の裏に巨木がある感じで絵になります
