    Wakayama Pref. Nishimurogunkamitondachou Ikuma 313
    This temple with a roughly 1,300-year history is about 25 minutes by car from the spa town of Nanki-Shirahama Onsen. It was established by En-no-Gyoja, the founder of the mountain ascetic practice known as Shugendo. The temple's principal object of worship is Bato Kanzeon Bosatsu. It is said to be the oldest and largest sacred spot for better fortune and warding off evil in southern Wakayama Prefecture, and can accommodate whatever wish you may have. It is also known for its cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, and autumn leaves. In addition to monthly Goma fire rituals, their prayer and memorial services held throughout the year are open to all.

    １月の三連休であったので初詣客でにぎわっていました。たまたま、秘仏御開帳が行われていて、新年からラッキーでした。

    Wakayama Nishimuro-gun Shirahamacho 627
    "Honkakuji, also known as Kaidera ""shell temple,"" is a twenty-minute drive from the Nanki Shirahama Interchange on the Kisei Expressway. It is a subsidiary temple of Chion-in temple, the Chinzei school of the Jodo-shu Sect of Buddhism. Successive generations of abbots have collected over 30,000 shells of one thousand varieties, some of them rare scientific specimens, especially the Honkakujihigai, discovered in 1929 and named after the temple. This collection of shells is stored and displayed at the temple. The temple presented rare shells to the lords of the Kishu Domain, one of Tokugawa Gosanke, the three privileged branches of the Tokugawa family, and even now, a memorial tablet for the lords is an object of veneration."
