    Shizuoka Shizuoka-shi Suruga-ku Utsunoya 729-1
    "The ""Enmeijizoson (life-prolonging Jizo statue)"", which travelers who formerly passed through Utsunoya Pass so as to not come into contact with demons visited, is placed here. The ""todango"" sold during the fair from August 23rd to 24th is a charm against evil spirits passed down since the Muromachi period. Normally, you would buy it at the ""Ohaoriya"" just in front of Utsunoya Pass, and then put it at the entrance to circumvent misfortune. The secret Buddha of Enmeijizoson is a sitting stone statue said to have been built by Kobo Daishi. There is the ""gokaicho"" (opening the gate) every 21 years."

    Shizuoka Hamamatsu-shi Tenryu-ku Futamatacho Futamata 1405
    Records state this ancient Buddhist temple was originally built as a hermitage by a priest in 1405. The temple is dedicated to Matsudaira Nobuyasu, the eldest son of the mighty Tokugawa Ieyasu who committed seppuku at Futamata Castle after he came under suspicion for plotting to overthrow the powerful samurai lord Oda Nobunaga. The true start of the temple is viewed to have occurred in 1579 when a temple was built here to memorialize Nobuyasu and enshrine a statue of Avalokitesvara believed to have been created by the famed priest Gyoki. The temple's main temple building was destroyed in disasters numerous times; construction of the current main temple building was completed in the late Meiji period after it was seriously damaged in a typhoon in 1870. The main temple's inner sanctum enshrines a wooden statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu as well as mortuary tablets for Nobuyasu and various Tokugawa clan shoguns.

    駐車場からすぐ近くには宝生殿があり、本堂化と間違えてしまいそうですが、本堂はさらに階段を登った奥まった場所にあります。時間がありませんでしたので、宝生殿の参拝だけでしたが綺麗に整備された寺院でした。境内地には風鈴が涼しげになっていたのが印象的でした。

Shizuoka Areas

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
