    Tottori Kurayoshi-shi Higashimachi 422
    "This ancient Soto Buddhist temple was founded in 1605. Originally the family temple of Nakamura Hikozaemon Kazushige, lord of Numazu Castle in Suruga Province (now Shizuoka Prefecture) and called the Keikyuji, the temple was moved to what is now Yabase when Nakamura was forcibly relocated here by the government. Satomi Tadayoshi, the last lord of Tateyama Castle in Awa Province (now Chiba Prefecture), whose tale served as the basis for Takizawa Bakin's novel ""Nanso Satomi hakkenden"", is buried on the grounds. Eight of his retainers are also buried here, and eight stone statues of dogs face the graves. An ancient Ming China Sancai bowl, which records state was willed to the temple by Satomi Tadayoshi, has been designated a Protected Cultural Property by the prefecture."

    米子から鳥取に行く間に、寄り道しました。 白い倉の街を散策していたところ、街歩きマップで目に止まり訪れました。

    This is a temple established at 900 meters height situated in Mt. Mitoku. The building is built protruding from a steep cliff wall, and is designated as a National Treasure. The mountain road to the temple is extremely dangerous with many accidents so please take care. It is recommended that you view the temple from the “Nageiredo” distant worship spot in the mountain foothills.

    投入堂迄の行程の8割位の場所にあります。良くメディアにも取り上げられる絶景です。落ちたら確実に死にます。こんな危険な場所なのに何の囲いも有りません。全て自己責任です。鳥になった気分になれます。少なくとも此処まではたどり着いてほしい場所です。反対に此処で諦める方も多かったです。

    Tottori Kurayoshi-shi Nakanocho 2960
    "This ancient Buddhist is situated halfway up Mt. Utsubuki, symbol of Kurayoshi. The temple stands 300 meters up a steep mountain road; records state it was founded in the Nara period. The zushi miniature shrine in the main temple is one of only a very few in the San'in region to have been made in the late Muromachi period. The shrine houses an eleven-faced statue of Kannon, the temple's principal object of worship. Because of its collection of some 50 variously sized ema (votive tablets) offered to the temple between the Muromachi and Edo periods, the temple is also famously known as the ""Ema Temple."" The tablets are decorated with images which depict customs and folk beliefs from the various time periods they were made in. One of the most celebrated tablets in the temple's collection depicts a white horse which, according to legend, once ran free."

    室町時代に建てられたお寺として、有名な建造物です。ウォーキングに参加すると、三色団子として地元で有名な打吹団子が食べられます。

  • Mitokusan Sanbutsuji Temple

    Tottori Pref. Touhakugunmisasachou Mitoku 1010
    This is a temple of the Tendai Buddhist sect, with grounds on the 900 meters Mt. Mitoku. It is said that Enno Oguno was opened as a gyoba (practice site) for Shugendo mountain asceticism in 706, though details are scarce. It is famous for the Nageiredo sub temple built into the crevice of a sheer cliff, and even today details of the building method are not fully revealed making it a national treasure. Aside from the main temple, the grounds are dotted with halls designated important cultural properties including those for Monjudo and Jizodo. In the Homotsuden (treasure house) is Nageiredo’s original object of worship, a wooden standing statue of Zao Gongen. *Climbing to Nageiredo is currently prohibited because of the Tottori Prefecture Chubu Earthquake.

    Tottori Kurayoshi-shi Sekiganecho Sekiganeshuku 1218
    "This Buddhist temple dedicated to Kshitigarbha is located in Sekigane Onsen, a hot spring district whose history stretches back 1,300 years. Encircled by greenery, the temple enshrines a wooden statue depicting Kshitigarbha in the half lotus position which is affectionately known to locals as the ""Seki no Jizo-san."" Founded in 756, the temple is the oldest in the area and, according to legend, the great monk Kobo Daishi used the power of Buddhism to cause a miraculous spring to well forth on its grounds. The temple's massive statue of Kshitigarbha is 358 centimeters tall and is an impressive sight. The statue's exquisite detailing, including the clothing, severe facial expression, and powerful body from chest to abdomen are all characteristic of the Kamakura period in which it was made."

    三徳山三佛寺投入堂へのルート入口付近にある三宿坊の一つで天台宗の寺院です。 投入堂登山のためだけではなく、中国四十九薬師霊場第四十三番札所として、観音菩薩・薬師如来・文殊菩薩様への拝観、精進料理食事処の利用や、道場では、宗派を超えた”一隅”理念に基づく座禅・修行の体験もできるようです。 四季折々の花々が鑑賞できる庭園も見所。

    倉吉市内の白壁土蔵群のエリアから外れ、観光エリアでは最も西側となる倉吉淀屋をさらに西に歩いた先に立地する曹洞宗の寺院です。 私が行った日は、たまたま年に一度の「わいわい淀屋」というイベントがこのエリアで開かれており、ふらふらと歩いていた時に立ち寄りました。 (そのため山門の写真には「伊勢うどん」の看板がかかっています) 入口近くにもみえる鐘と、立派な山門が目立つ寺院です。 境内に入ると二体の象の...

    三徳山三佛寺参道の山下(さんげ)に建つ3子院の一つで、他の子院同様宿坊寺院でしたが、2012年に全焼後、2020年春の完成目指して復元工事中です。 山門は無事だったようですが固く閉じられており、江戸末期-明治初期の姿に復元したという茅葺屋根と土壁の本堂は、他の開口部から拝見できました。 「完成後は、三徳山と正善院の歴史を理解する場に活用する・・」と案内板に書かれているので、博物館風な施設になるので...

    松崎駅から徒歩圏内の真宗大谷派寺院でした。参道の横が契約駐車場で同寺の駐車場所の確保されていました。山門を潜ると正面が本堂となっており、明治43年の建築と紹介されていました。因みに山門は平成2年建立との事でした。
