    Nara Pref. Narashi Sugaharachou 518
    This is the country’s oldest Tenmangu shrine, which is said to be in the region that is the origin of the Sugawara clan and the birthplace of Sugawara no Michizane. It is dedicated to the deities Amenohohi, Nominosukune, and Sugawara no Michizane. About 100 meters northeast of the shrine is said to be the site of the pond where Michizane was born. Many events associated with Sugawara no Michizane are held here. For example, every year from early February until early March, about 200 plum bonsai trees consisting of about 130 species are put on display in the “plum bonsai exhibition,” and for the Vernal Equinox, a “writing brush festival” is held.

    近鉄西大寺駅からレンタル自転車にて訪問、約４-５分程の距離です。説明書からですが菅原道真公の生誕の地だそうです。ただ、いろいろと天満社を巡ると菅公の生誕地を由来とする神社はあちこちに有りますね。住宅街に在る神社です。

    Nara Pref. Narashi Nishinokyouchou 457
    The Yasumigaoka Hachimangu shrine which protects Yakushiji Temple was ceremonially transferred along with its tutelary deity from Usa District in Oita Prefecture to its current location sometime between 889 and 898. The main hall and side halls were built on slightly elevated, stacked stone platforms. The sitting room located in the west side of the front yard, although heavily restored over the years, was built at nearly the same time as the main shrine in 1603, making it an historical and cultural heritage site.

    薬師寺花会式の賑やかな法要の声を背にして、南門を抜けて「休ケ岡八幡宮」に参詣しました。観光客が戻った薬師寺と打って変わって、広前には誰一人いませんでした。 参道は時あたかも桜満開、青年二人が近鉄線と桜のコラボを撮るために三脚を立てていました。 長閑な南都、春たけなわの西ノ京でした。2023/3/27

Nara Areas

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
