    Gifu Prefecture Tajimi Tottoriyama Town 1-40
    This temple was founded in the Kamakura period (1185-1333) by Muso Soseki. Its honorary name Kokeizan comes from how the surrounding mountain scenery resembles China’s Kokei Ravine at Lushan. Eihoji’s garden is superbly beautiful and has been designated a Historic Site and Natural Monument. There are many sights you shouldn’t miss, like the Kaisando and Kannondo, both National Treasures. The principal object of worship, an image of Kanzeon Bosatsu, is a Prefectural Cultural Property. There are also sacred items like an image of Binzuru, a deity with healing powers, and a collection of Sentai Jizo statues.

    Hidden at the bottom of a hill on the outskirts of town is a pituresc set of temples and a wonderful tree. We have made several trips here. You need to walk but with the exception of winter (when the...

    Gifu Pref. Nakatsugawashi Magome 5358
    This temple has a long history and is said to have been established in 1558 and is also said to be the model for ‘Manpuku-ji Temple” which appears in Shimazaki Toson’s novel “Before the Dawn”. The temple is available as a place to stay, a place to try Buddhist vegetarian food and experience Zazen meditation. The wooden statue of the sitting Amida Nyorai, the wooden standing Sho Kanon statue, and the Shomen Kongo Pagoda in the precincts are designated as Nakatsugawa city cultural property.

    This temple is not on the Main Street of Magome, but it is easy to find, since there is an indication. It is a quiet place without being disturbed by tourists. There is a grave of Toson’s family.

    Gifu Mizunami-shi Miyamaecho 1-47

    土岐川近くの住宅街の中にあるお寺で、美濃瑞浪三十三霊場の二十五番所です。 山門・本堂共に新しくキレイで、山門をくぐると庭園風に見えなくもない境内になっています。 特別に記すことは無いのですが、山門の上部両脇に小さいながらも名古屋城の鯱を思い出させるような装飾が施されています。 私自身は城・神社・寺院の装飾に詳しくないので全く判りませんが、詳しい方から見れば価値があるのかもしれません。

    Gifu Tajimi Bentencho 1-16

    何気に多治見市内を歩いていて発見しました。東海三十六不動尊霊場という看板にひかれて入ってみると思ったよりも広い境内でした。

    Gifu Nakatsugawa-shi Hirukawa Okudo-ku 5349-2-1

    本堂の裏には岩壁が迫っています。お参りのあと、右手の山道へ進みました。[蛙薬師]という、大きな蛙に似ているような天然岩の祠に、薬師如来様をまつってあります。右横から見ると、岩の上に岩が載っている祠。危なっかしい感じです。数段上がったところにお稲荷さんがあり、覗き穴から何かしら見えましたが、何でしょうか。時々その背後から、おどろおどろしい音が聞こえましたが、お寺の立地を考えると、なるほど・・。その...

    Gifu Ena-shi Osashimacho Nakano 568

    恵那で朝のウォーキングの際に寄ったお寺さん。 行ったら本堂は改装中だったのでブルーシートがかかっており風情も何もない状況。 ちょっと面白かったのが、山門が白い土壁の基礎の上に上構たっているので、中国のお寺やお城みたいな入口になっている。
