    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.

    There is a lot of history here and participating in morning prayer (5:30AM) whether you follow the faith or not provides for a relaxing and unique introspective experience. The ropeway to Mt Minobu...

    Yamanashi Minamikoma-gun Minobucho Minobu 3510
    "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. Based on his prayer to protect and heal believers suffering from eye diseases, the temple has become known as a place to pray for cures for eye diseases and for success in academics. The temple is famous for its shojin kaiseki (multi-course vegetarian Buddhist meals) featuring yuba (tofu skins), a local specialty of Minobu Town. Meals can be enjoyed even if you are not staying overnight. Eating lunch at the temple called ""Ote-lunch"" has become a popular attraction. Overnight guests at the temple can enjoy taking a wine bath while viewing the Japanese garden."

    Yamanashi Nishiyatsushiro-gun Ichikawamisato Cho Ichikawa Daimon 5711

    住宅街の中の墓地に隣接する小さなお寺です。 これと言った特徴はありませんが、春だったので、境内に桜がきれいに咲いていました。 高台にあるので、北側の街を見下ろす景色がきれいでした。

    Yamanashi Minamikoma-gun Fujikawacho Komuro 3063

    山梨県の富士川町に鎮座する妙法寺。とても大きな日蓮宗お寺です。身延山の久遠寺みたいな立ち位置にあり、古い建物、新しい建物等、見事であり、アジサイの寺として有名みたいです。駐車場は十分確保されており、観光客には一見の価値あり。尚、スマホで寺の写真を撮りましたが、サイズが大きすぎてアップできませんでした。

    Yamanashi Minamikoma-gun Nanbucho Fukushi

    国道52号から県道801号を経て狭い道を入って行った集落のお寺です。 質素な感じで境内も小さく、敷地と建物でコンビニ程度のスペースです。 駐車場も特には無いのですが2台程度停めるスペースが道路脇にあります。 お寺自体は1040年に創立され、周囲の権力者が南部氏から武田氏に変わり1395年頃に武田家に寄進され仏殿が建てられた様です。 この仏殿が「判る人」が見ると中国宋の時代の手法がちりばめられていて...

    Yamanashi Nishiyatsushiro-gun Ichikawamisato Cho Ueno 199

    JR身延線の芦川駅から狭い坂道を登っていくと5分チョットで着きます。 周りが静かな環境にありますが、陽当たりの良い場所で8月に訪れるのは熱さが厳しいのですが、山門の日陰の場所に石のベンチがあり、そこは風の通り道になっている様で一休みした時に涼しかったです。 お寺自体は746年に行基によって開かれたと伝えられている様ですが、行基は全国各地に600程の寺の開山に縁があると云われている様で、流石に全てに...

    日蓮宗の総本山である身延山久遠寺は、普段は、全国から信者が集まってきていますが、枝垂れ桜が有名で、春には一般の観光客が急増します。旅館など宿泊施設もありますが、あえて、お寺らしい雰囲気を楽しむのであれば宿坊に泊まるのもいいかもしれません。大きなお寺なのでたくさんの宿坊がありますが、その中でも設備がきれいで、観光・参拝に便利なのが三門前にある恵善坊です。一泊2食付きで8500円から、食事はもちろん精...

Yamanashi prefecture is the proud home of one of Japan’s most celebrated icons: Mount Fuji. Although the mountain straddles both Yamanashi and Shizuoka, the most breathtaking views of Fuji-san can be seen from the Fuji Five Lakes north of the mountain in Yamanashi prefecture. The plethora of outdoor activities in and around the lakes all have the benefit of the country’s highest mountain as their backdrop, and we can assure you that it is an unforgettable sight.
