    Yamaguchi Pref. Nagatoshi Fukawayumoto 1074
    "This is a temple of the Soto sect of Buddhism, revering ""Shaka-nyorai"" as the main idol of worship, located in Nagato city, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and founded in 1410. It was proud of its prosperity which was said to have been the Western Koya (a famous Buddhist sacred place). It was also known as the place of the fall of the Ouchi clan which lead Yamaguchi to great wealth during the Muromachi period (1336–1573). The main hall is designated as an important cultural property of Yamaguchi Prefecture, and it is well known as a spot to view cherry blossom in spring and autumn leaves in the autumn."

    It is nice to take a walk from Yumoto Onsen to Taineiji temple. Unfortunately the season of cherry blossoms was almost gone. But still I enjoyed a serene atmosphere of this temple. In the premises...

    Yamaguchi Nagato-shi Yuyamukatsukushimo 3539
    "There is a legend that Lady Yang, one of the three most beautiful women in the world, got on a small boat and drifted to this temple after escaping from disaster. On the grounds overlooking Yuya Bay in the inner sea, the Five Ring Pagoda, which is said to be the Tomb of Lady Yang"" and the two principal object of worship statues of Buddha (a standing image of Amitabha Buddha and a standing image of Shakyamuni Buddha) enshrined to pray for the repose of Lady Yang's soul are enshrined. The plum trees bloom in March and the yokihi-zakura cherry blossoms in April each year, and the temple is said to be for the protection of women, safe delivery, fertility and marriage. Yuya Bay, which can be seen from the temple, is also known as a spot for touring and dates because of the beautiful sunset."

    山口油谷湾の小さな集落に楊貴妃のお墓と伝承されるスポットがあります。その謂われは綿々と心打たれるもので、なるほどこれが楊貴妃のお墓かもと思わせるモノがあります。この伝承の中でこのお寺さんも改名したそうです。 平日であったこともあり、訪れていたのは私一人。散歩に来ていた地元の方からお寺の説明を聞かせて頂きました。中華風の建物や大理石の楊貴妃像など異国情緒も目を引きました。

    Yamaguchi Pref. Nagatoshi Senzaki Gion town 1348

    仙崎駅から徒歩圏内に立つ浄土宗系寺院で、「長門観音霊場第32番札所」と掲げられていました。山門は柵で仕切られていたものの通用口はオープンされ、又駐車場側からなら境内への出入りも自由となっていました。猶、境内には山頭火の句碑も設置されていました。

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.
