    Mie Yokkaichi-shi Mizusawa Cho 2071

    11月26日朝訪問。大きなお寺ではないが、庭の手入れが行き届いていて、落ち着きを感じる。寺門と鐘突堂は、創建当時のもののようで、趣を感じる。もみじも僅にある。鐘突堂の近くでは、もみじと早咲きの桜が印象的だった。住職から、お茶をご馳走なり、境内の説明もうけた。しつこさがないのが良い。少数の自動車の駐車は可能。

Spread across the eastern side of the Kii Peninsula, Mie prefecture boasts hundreds of kilometers of pretty coastline comprising the oyster-rich Toba city and Shima National Park all the way down to Kumano, a city that marks the beginning of part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, which runs into neighboring Wakayama prefecture. However, Mie is best known for the Ise Jingu Shinto shrine inland, one of the oldest and largest shrines in the country.
