    "A Soto Buddhist temple built in 1651 after the chief retainer of Kaga Domain asked the domain's lord to do so. Widely known as a temple which grants wishes, the temple is popularly visited by worshippers from around the country. The way to pray for your wish is unique-wearing a cord tied to a sign with your wish on it around your shoulder, you must circle a path called the ""Road of Happiness"" encircling statues depicting arhats and the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac three times counter-clockwise. Some of the temple's many other highlights include the ""Kofuku Jizo,"" a statue of Kshitigarbha which grants people's prayers for children and healthy child growth; a white statue of the deity Fudo which grands beautiful skin; and a Daruma statue which grants improved luck."

    願掛けを目的として伺いました。簡単な説明の後は自由に見学したり回ったりしました。石の干支の置物がたくさんあり、自分の干支のところに3週目に願掛けしてタスキをかけます。なんか聞いてくれそうな感じやな-。今回の金沢旅行で一番楽しかったとこです。

    The Myoryu-ji Temple is a Nichiren Buddhist temple in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The Temple was founded by Maeda Toshitsune, the third lord of the Kaga Domain. Its complex defensive architecture, including many features designed to confuse attackers, led to it being nicknamed the “Ninja Temple.” The Temple interior is full of ingenious features such as offertory boxes and steps that hide pitfalls, hidden rooms, etc. What appears from the outside to be a two-storey building actually has four stories, with a total of 23 rooms. Tours can be booked in advance by telephone; it may be possible to book a place for the same day if there are any places vacant on that day’s tour.

    金沢市の繁華街の南側の犀川を超えたエリアがお寺が数多く集まっており、その中の一つです。珍しくある諏訪神社の向かいです。このお寺には平安時代前期に作られた重要文化財である阿弥陀如来像がありますが、来るまで存在を知りませんでした。次は予約してみたいですね。

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Teramachi 5-5-22
    An ancient Buddhist temple which records state was founded in 1593. Originally built in Echizen (now Fukui Prefecture), the temple was later moved to Kanazawa, then Toyama, and Kodatsunodai, before finally being relocated to its current grounds in 1615. The temple’s huge cherry tree, popularly known as the Ozakura, is a 400-year-old Shogetsu cherry. According to legend, the samurai Maeda Toshitsune, third lord of Kaga Domain, and his friend, the temple’s high priest, received the seedling from Komatsu Castle and planted it here on the grounds. A local landmark, the tree is six meters in circumference at the base and 14 meters tall; jutting out of the temple’s wall, its branches extending over the sidewalk outside. In most years, the tree blooms in mid-April, attracting large numbers of visitors.

    金沢市の繁華街の南側の犀川を超えたエリアがお寺が数多く集まっており、その中の一つで、ちょうど寺町5丁目の交差点のところにあるのでわかりやすいです。比較的普通な浄土宗のお寺で、延命地蔵尊以外は特に目ぼしいものもないかな。
