    Sekijyozan Saifukuji Temple is a temple opened during the late Muromachi period in 1534. The Kaisando for worshipping images of Kaisan and Dogen Zenji—founder of Soto sect—is famous for its numerous wonderful sculptures, paintings, and lacquerware that can be called great works of Uncho Ishikawa, a famous craftsman from the end of the Shogunate. It is often called “Echigo Nikko” for its similarity to the collection of works at Toshogu in Nikko. About five minutes by car via Koide Interchange on the Kan-etsu Expressway.

    石川雲蝶の作品を見に、年配の親と行きました。杖はダメとの事でしたが、お寺の杖を貸してくださいます。 開山堂は、本堂から渡り廊下で行きました。 外見も独特ですが、内側も凄い迫力ですね、 音声ガイドを聞きながら、イスに座って天井の彫刻を鑑賞しました。 因みに寝転び禁止です。 写真では何やらゴテゴテした感じに見えましたが、実物は、とても生き生きとした景色て魅力的です。 技術的に上手なのはもちろんですが...

    Nigata Pref. Minamiuonumashi Untou 660
    Untouan is a Buddhist temple belonging to the Soto School that is situated in the foothills of Mt. Kinjo, in the Unto district of Minamiuonuma City. It was founded by Uesugi Norizane in the Muromachi period, and rebuilt in 1707. Tradition has it that text from the Lotus Sutra was inscribed on the underside of every flagstone on the path that leads up to the main hall of the temple, so that visitors to the temple who followed this route on their way to worship at the main hall could accumulate merit in the process. The Untouan temple is famous as the place where Uesugi Kagekatsu and Naoe Kanetsugu were educated as boys.

    Wow, in the mountains & surrounded by forrest. It could be the movie set and center of a adventures story or just about monks. Huge trees, silent, tranquil. If you like nature and temple, this is the...

    Nigata Pref. Uonumashi Negoya 1765
    Eirinji is a Buddhist temple belonging to the Soto School that is located in the Negoya district of Uonuma City. According to tradition, the famous woodcarver Ishikawa Uncho (Minamoto no Masateru), who was active in the Bakumatsu period and in the early years of the Meiji period, lost a bet with Abbot Enno Bensho the 22nd, and as a result stayed at the Eirinji Temple for 13 years, creating large numbers of carvings for the temple. Today, the Eirinji Temple still has over 100 carvings by Ishikawa Uncho, including ranma (openwork screens), etc., and many people visit the temple for the express purpose of viewing these masterpieces.

    お寺に入って、おばさんに入場料を支払い、拝観ガイド兼パンフレット1枚もらう。パンフレットに番号が書いてあり、各自作品と照らし合わせる。みんな上の方を見ながらウロウロと探し歩く。 噂の天女を見つけると、目が釘付けになった。何というか、吸い込まれそうなカンジ。 のびやかで華やかで、艶めかしい。 写真では、「どうかな？」って思っていたが、実物は数倍凄かった。 はるばる見に来て良かった

    Nigata Pref. Minamiuonumashi Uwano 267
    This Zen Buddhist temple has historical ties to the Uesugi clan, the deputy shoguns of the Kanto region, and to the Ueda Nagao clan. The primary object of worship of the temple, which belongs to the Kamakura Engaku-ji? school, is Shakyamuni Buddha (Gautama Buddha). The temple is said to have been founded in 1410 by the monk Kakuosoden, the son of Uesugi Noriaki. The temple was relocated to Yonezawa in 1600 along with Uesugi Kagekatsu's forced relocation there. After being destroyed in a fire, the temple was rebuilt in its current location during the Kanbun era (around 1661 to 1673). The temple's main gate, which belonged to the Sakai Clan of the Awa-Katsuyama Domain, was donated and relocated to the temple in 2009. The gatekeeper's station on the gate's left side still gives it the stately appearance of the gate to a samurai residence. The temple also possesses a rare rotating bookshelf called kyozou, containing a complete set of the Obaku school's version of the Buddhist scriptures. The main temple building has a Japanese rock garden? in front, which is unusual for the Minamiuonuma area.

    Now undergoing some repairs, this impressive temple and monastery is well worth the visit. It must be so cold and covered with snow in winter, but beautiful now. Check the nicely kept buildings...

    Niigata Uonuma-shi Tochiomata Onsen
    A Bhaisajyaguru temple (Yakushido) stands behind the Jizaikan, a secluded hot spring bathhouse in Tochiomata Onsen. The Tochiomata Yakushido is surrounded by large trees believed to be 400 years old and is dedicated to Bhaisajyaguru, the patron Buddhist deity of doctors. Two sacred trees stand on the grounds known as the Komochi Sugi (“Childbearing Cedar) and the Meoto Keyaki (“Husband and Wife Zelkova”), and the spot where they grow is famously believed to grant the prayers of worshippers who wish to be blessed with children. According to legend, stepping over the sacred trees will bless one with children. An unending stream of visitors make their way to the shrine to offer kewpie dolls and ema votive tablets to pray for children to the shrine and Bhaisajyaguru, and to give thanks for their prayers having been answered.

    お寺さんのような建物もあるのですが、お寺さんじゃないような建物もあって不思議でおもしろかったです。行った時間が少し遅かったのかゆっくり見学することができませんでした。堂内に置かれている観音様が有名のようですね。見れなくて残念です。拝観時間に注意してください。

    国道117号から少し入ったところにひっそりと佇む神社です。とっても立派な茅葺屋根があり、なかなかみられないものだと思うのですが、あまり観光名所になっていないようです。とても静かな場所で、夏でもひんやりとした空気が何とも神秘的です。

    何とも言えない。 越後の「苔寺」との事前の思い込みでは、もっと広-い庭を想像していたのだが、 存外にコジンマリ。しかも、訪れた時には池の水が枯れ、何とも寂しい限りであった。 しかし、山門、三重の塔、本堂などの、古びた上のひっそり感にはに心魅かれた。

    薬照寺は魚沼丘陵にあるお寺で、参道の石段を登ると、樹齢2000年の大ケヤキがあります。 コンパクトながら境内に池があったり、段差を利用した滝の庭園があっりします。 君沢地区の田んぼを一望できることもあり、いろいろな風景を楽しめます。

    Niigata Minamiuonuma Urasa 2495 Hei

    浦佐駅から徒歩5分ほど。普光寺(毘沙門堂)に隣接。 創建年不明。真言宗豊山派の寺院で毘沙門堂の塔頭。本尊は千手観世音菩薩。境内前の川に架かる赤い橋の名(観音橋)はこの本尊に因んで名付けられたのであろう。現本堂は1808年再建で木造銅板葺き。棟梁は後に毘沙門堂山門を建立している。1873年(明治6年)に浦佐初の学校(現浦佐小学校)が開校した際には当寺が仮校舎として利用されたとのこと。
