    Tokushima Pref. Miyoshishi Ikedachouhakuchi Norochi 763
    This temple belongs to the Omuro sect of Shingon Buddhism and is located in Ikeda Town in Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture near the summit of Mt. Unpenji, and it is the 66th temple of the Shikoku 88-temple Pilgrimage. It has the highest altitude of all the temples in the Shikoku Pilgrimage. It is said to have been erected by a 16-year-old Kukai in 789 when he visited the area. Afterward, under orders from Emperor Saga, he is said to have sculpted the principal image of Senju Kannon Bosatsu in 818 and performed the seven sacred rites. On the temple grounds, the principal image joins a standing statue of Vaisravana and other National Important Cultural Properties, and you’ll also find a statue of Gohyakurakan, a “wish-granting eggplant,” and other items worth seeing. This temple is known for its beautiful fall foliage, and a ropeway operates from the foot of the mountain.

    堂塔も景観も境内の石の羅漢さんも紅葉も、寺院の縁起と歴史も、全てが揃った素晴らしい遍路寺、霊場です。今回の遍路では少し気になることを耳にはさんだので・・。歩き遍路の方がおられて本堂前で納経時間が重複したので、私が先達を担っているグループは先に大師堂で納経したのだが、歩き遍路のグループの一人が極めて不見識かつ非常識な発言をした。「バス乗って下の駐車場まで来ているのだから、納経位は歩いて廻っている者に...

    Tokushima Pref. Miyoshishi Ikedachoushudu Kuratani 1006
    "This ancient Buddhist temple, a special head temple of Shingon Buddhism, is reached by taking the Hashikurasan Ropeway a 10-minute walk from Hashikura Station on the JR Dosan Line. Records state the temple was founded to enshrine a statue personally carved by the great monk Kobo Daishi to serve as its principal object of worship in 828 after he received a sign from the god Konpira. Also known as the ""Inner Sanctuary of Konpira,"" the temple is one of the stations on the Shikoku 20 Bekkaku Temple Pilgrimage and is visited by many pilgrims traveling the route. The temple is famous for its ceremonies such as an esoteric star ceremony which involves praying to the celestial body which will govern your fortunes for the year; and a memorial service for old chopsticks held on August 4th, the day of chopsticks. Many of the temple's buildings, such as its main temple building and Gomaden hall, have been designated national and prefectural Important Cultural Properties."

    箸蔵寺と言えば、”ロープウェイ”を利用してお寺に行く事です。秋頃に行くと紅葉が綺麗で目の保養になります。

    Tokushima Miyoshi-shi Ikedacho Machi 2257

    阿波池田駅から徒歩10分。 創建年不明。浄土真宗西本願寺派の寺院。境内は舗装され、コンクリートブロックの模様で本堂への参拝路が示されている。本堂は鉄筋コンクリート造で特徴はない。地元の人のための寺院と言えるであろう。
