    Yamaguchi Shimonoseki-shi Toyouracho Kawatana 5192
    A Buddhist temple located in Kawatana, Toyoura-cho, Shimonoseki City. It was founded in 1416 by Ouchi Mochimori, the deputy military governor of Nagato Province. The principal object of worship is an image of Kanzeon Bodhisattva that temple lore says was made by the priest Gyoki. There is a garden on the precincts created by the Muromachi period ink painter Sesshu where you can admire azaleas and other flowers. Wisteria grow naturally at the pond adjacent to the temple, and in early May you can enjoy the beautiful view of the flowers dangling down towards the surface as carp swim below.

    Yamaguchi Pref. Shimonosekishi Toyotachoumukurouji 2643

    結構な高さの山（600mぐらい）にありますが、お寺の入口まで舗装された道で登ることができ、駐車スペースも広いです。そこから徒歩で狗留孫山の頂上まで徒歩で登ることが出来ます。途中までは、階段状に整備されていますが、最後の方は狭いけもの道のようになっています。頂上は木々が生い茂っており、眺望は望めません。裏道は通らないように立札もあるので、注意が必要です。

    Yamaguchi Shimonoseki-shi Buzendacho 2-chome 2-8

    下関駅から徒歩圏内に立つ浄土真宗本願寺派寺院でした。手前に駐車場があり石段を上がって山門を潜ると境内となり、少し斜め前方に本堂が立っていました。山門は開かれていましたが普段観光客が参拝する雰囲気では無く、地元の方の寺院と云えそうでした。

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
