The temple has been designated as a national Important Cultural Property. It played a central role in the Etchu Ikko Ikki, a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist uprising that occurred during the warring states period. It also possesses many cultural assets such as ""rokkyoku isso,"" a painted folding screen depicting scenes in and around Kyoto. The temple is also known for its ""seven wonders,"" which consist of the fruitless gingko tree, the stone that fell from the sky, the pond that never dries, the monkey that holds up the roof, the pillar that wards off evil spirits, the flying dragon inkstone, and the three-leafed pine."

    3月下旬に訪問。立派な総門を通っていくと、その先に金の装飾もある唐門があります。これは江戸時代に京都の西本願寺の南にある興聖寺から譲り受けたものです。そして、非常に大きな国宝の本堂があります。その他にも、大広間や書院、経堂、御霊屋、鼓堂、宝蔵、総門など、数多くの重要文化財があります。かなり建物の痛みが激しかったようで1998年から20年余りかけて修復をされたためとても立派な建物を見ることができます...

    Toyama Takaoka-shi Suehiromachi 13-42

    創建等は不詳ですが、浄土真宗大谷派に属しています。寺号標には開基性信房と刻まれており、親鸞の「関東の二十四輩」という弟子の筆頭といわれた性信房のことだとすると鎌倉中期の開基の寺院となります。

    Toyama Takaoka-shi Teramachi 411

    高岡の名刹・瑞龍寺のすぐ横にあるお寺です。とても小さいお寺で最初見た時は普通の家かと思いました。中に入るのが少し勇気が必要でした。

    Toyama Takaoka-shi

    この霊場会遍路寺は断崖絶壁とか僻地とかアクセスが不便な場所が多いのですが、流石に高岡市はそこそこの都会、ここも周辺には色々な観光地があります。高岡大仏、有名な瑞龍寺、古城公園とか・・・この寺院自体にも北陸地域最大の宝篋印塔があり、数々の仏像、画、仏具とか・・・。寺院創建は寛喜2年と伝承されていますが、平安期に遡れる文化財も多数あります。

Toyama Areas

Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
