    Yamanashi Pref. Minamikomagunminobuchou Minobu 3567
    High Priest Nichiren entered Kuonji Temple at Mt. Minobu where he remained for his entire life teaching his disciples. This sacred place where Nichiren devoted his life to reciting the Lotus Sutra draws many worshipers as the head temple of the Nichiren sect. Many annual events are also held here. The Setsubun Ritual held in February attracts tens of thousands of people. In the grounds of the temple are drooping trees said to be 400 years old. The place is well known as a cherry blossom viewing spot with beautiful pale pink flowers showing their full glory during the spring.

    Yamanashi Pref. Koufushi Zenkouji 3-36-1
    This temple is located in Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture. It was built in 1558 by Takeda Shingen, who feared that the fires caused by the Battles of Kawanakajima would reach Shinano Zenkoji Temple, as a place to relocate the temple's statues, scriptures, and other properties. The temple's gate and main hall are nationally-designated Important Cultural Properties. The treasure hall built on the temple grounds exhibit some of the temple's countless treasures.

    It will be great to read some history of Takeda Shingen from the war period in Japan prior to visiting the temple. A totally historical place that continue to play import religious roles in the...

    Yamanashi Pref. Koushushi Katsunumachoukatsunuma 3559
    Thought to be the place where viticulture (grape cultivation) in Koshu began, this temple is also known as budo-ji (grape temple). The temple's Yakushido Hall still possesses valuable Manjusri and Vaisravana statues donated in the Edo Period by the children of Takeda Katsuyori, who had stayed there. The temple accepts reservations for ascetic practice experiences, viewings of seated meditation, and other activities.

    ぶどうツアーで立ち寄りました。 国宝もある昔からぶどうと縁があるお寺さんとのことです。 薬師堂では住職さんが丁寧に説明してくださり勉強になりました。 お庭も綺麗で見ごたえがありました。

    Yamanashi Pref. Hokutoshi Mukawachouyamataka 2763
    Designated as a National Natural Monument in 1922, and chosen as one of Japan's New 100 Best Trees, the Yamataka Jindai-zakura cherry is in Jissoji Temple, whose historical buildings were all lost due to two fires. However, it does feature the Jindai-zakura cherry-over 2000 years old-which blooms beautifully every peak season in early April, much to the delight of hanami visitors. Also, in the vast precincts, you will find 30 cherry trees ages 50 to 100, and roughly 100,000 daffodils and tulips planted in the flower garden.

    2023年は、各地の桜は異例の速さで満開を迎えましたが実相寺の桜も03月下旬が見ごろでした。訪問したのは平日の昼前でしたが周辺の駐車場はほぼ満車状態でした。駐車料金は500円が中心で一部400円のところもありました。山高神代桜も頑張って 咲いていました。水仙畑とのコラボレーションも魅力も一つです。

    Yamanashi Pref. Koushushi Enzankamihagihara 2678
    "To reach Unpoji Temple, visitors should take the bus bound for Daibosatsu Tozanguchi from Enzan Station on the JR Chuo Line in the city of Koshu, Yamanashi Prefecture. A five-minute walk will bring them to Unpoji, a temple of the Rinzai sect of Buddhism. It was founded in 745 by the monk Gyoki. It was destroyed by fire in the middle of the 16th century, but the main building and the lecture hall were rebuilt in 1558. At present, the main building, library, and Nio Gate are designated as Important Cultural Properties. Among the historical treasures in its possession are the ""Sun Tzu"" battle flag of the Takeda clan, a clan that was affiliated with this temple, and the regimental flags. The ""Mine no Sakura"" cherry tree in front of the Treasure Hall was planted about 700 years ago and has been designated a Natural Monument."

    朝、タクシーを飛ばして一人で尋ねました。すがすがしい雰囲気がとても良いと感じました。無人でしたので、本堂に行くと、文化財を大切に、土足厳禁とありました。お堂に上がるまでの階段は、お堂とは連結しておらず、風雨にさらされぼろぼろで（厚い木の板でしたが）また、磨かれて奇麗にされ、大事にされている雰囲気もありません。全国の文化財のお寺をめぐると、階段は靴のまま上がれるお寺も多く、この寺院も、階段までは上が...

    Yamanashi Pref. Fuefukishi Isawachouichibe 1016
    "Onmyoji Temple, a temple of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism, is located in the city of Fuefuki, Yamanashi Prefecture, just a short walk from Isawa Onsen Station on the JR Chuo Line. It is known as the site of Ukai (The Cormorant Keeper), a Noh play that was revised by the famous 15th century playwright Zeami, and the story of the cormorant keeper is still a part of the temple's heritage. According to the legend, a man used cormorants for fishing in the Isawa River, where it was forbidden to take any lives, was put to death, and became a ""hungry ghost."" In 1274, Nichiren visited the temple and performed a memorial service and exorcism for the cormorant fisherman so that he could achieve Buddhahood. A powerful statue of the guardian deity Nio is placed at the Niomon Gate, and within the temple grounds, visitors can see the Ukaido (Cormorant Keeper's Hall) and the Kuyoto (Memorial Tower)."

    石和駅から徒歩だと20分強かかり、石和八幡宮の先にあります。 この寺は歌曲「鵜飼」の舞台とのことで、鵜飼い翁の亡霊を日蓮上人が３日3晩の川施餓鬼(かわせがき)によって成仏させた物語です。この時に日蓮上人が作られた塚が遠妙寺の始まりと言われています。 境内には、日蓮上人像、立派な仁王門、鵜飼翁の供養搭などがあります。

    Yamanashi Fuefuki-shi Isawacho Matsumoto 610
    "A five-minute walk from Isawa-Onsen Station on the JR Chuo Main Line. Records state this ancient Shingon Chisan Buddhist temple was founded in 722 by the great priest Gyoki and is counted as one of the seven Shingon danrin educational temples of Kai. The temple's name, which means translates to ""Tripitaka"" (the Buddhist canon), is derived from a two tier Buddhist tower built by the samurai Kai Province governor Takeda Nobunari in 1370 in which was placed a copy of the Tripitaka as an offering. A Takeda clan family temple, the temple still possesses a Shogun Jizo statue the mighty Takeda Shingen donated to pray for success in the Battles of Kawanakajima. The temple is also deeply connected to the great Tokugawa clan and possesses treasures such as a three faced Mahakala statue which was personally used by Tokugawa Ieyasu himself. A colored silk work of art depicting the death of the Buddha, designated a National Important Cultural Property, is another of the temple's many cultural assets."

    Yamanashi Pref. Koushushi Yamatochoutano 389
    Keitoku-in Temple is located in the city of Koshu in Yamanashi Prefecture. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who later became shogun, founded it in 1582 in memory of Takeda Katsuyori, who committed suicide on nearby Mt. Tenmoku. It suffered several fires in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, but the main gate, which never burned, is a Prefectural Designated Cultural Property, and the grounds and the grave of Takeda Katsuyori are Prefectural Designated Historic Sites. About fifty graves are on that site, including Katsuyori's wife and his son Nobukatsu, along with numerous maidservants. It attracts visitors as the last resting place of the Takeda clan.

    "This temple is located about 30 minutes from Rokugo Interchange on the Chubu-Odan Expressway via National Route 52. It is a sub-temple of Kuonji Temple established by Niccho, the Buddhist priest responsible for the area's religious revival. Niccho is said to have overcome blindness through the power of his faith.

    この寺は諏訪頼重と武田信玄の嫡男・武田義信が切腹した寺です。 歴史ファンには興味深い寺ですが、実際は普通のお寺でした。 建物も新しく、頼重や義信が切腹した建物も残っていないようです。 彼らの墓も墓地に他の人のお墓に埋まっており、目立たないお墓で、歴史の舞台を感じることが全くできませんでした。
