    Oita Nakatsu-shi Teramachi 973
    This Seizan Pure Land Buddhist temple, a six-minute walk from Nakatsu Station and a 60-minute drive from the Hita Interchange, is situated in between the Shoganji Temple and Hondenji Temple a little south of the center of the Tera-machi district. Records state the temple was established by the daimyo Kuroda Yoshitaka and founded by the priest Kuyo. The temple's nickname of the Red Wall Temple is derived from the red wall on the border of the temple's grounds, helping the temple stand out even among the many temples in the area. According to legend, during the Warring States period, local influential lord Kii Shigefusa and his retainers died in battle, and the walls of the temple, which were covered in their blood, will turn red even if painted a different color.

    There is a mysterious legend that the wall of this temple turned out red, whenever it was painted in white. It is said that this is the color of killed samurais who was defending in this temple, as...

    Oita Usa-shi Innaimachi Daimon 290-2
    This Soto Buddhist temple is a 20-minute drive from the Ajimu Interchange on the Higashikyushu Expressway (Usa-Beppu Road). Records state the temple was founded by the priest Gyoki in 746 at the end of the Heian period. The temple's Okunoin Reido hall, situated on the side of a mountain a 250-meter climb from the main temple, is the only Kamakura period wooden building in the prefecture. The hall enshrines three-meter-high seated statues of Acala, Amitabha, and Bhaisajyaguru, which records state Gyoki carved from a single camphor tree in one night. The unfinished wood of the statues shines white in the hall's natural light, and both they and the hall have been designated National Important Cultural Properties.

    岩山に貼り付くようlに作られた掛け造りの奥の院が素晴らしいです。 堂内に鎮座する三体の木彫りの仏像は、予想外に大きく立派で圧倒されました。 道路から石段を登ってたどり着いた本堂には、猫がいっぱいゴロゴロしてます。 しかし、本堂はネコ達が荒らすためが、障子は破れ、物が散乱し、猫のオシッコ臭もして残念な感じ。 平日のためか、他に参拝者はなく、静かで良かったです。 拝観料は２００円。駐車場は１０台くらい...

    Oita Nakatsu-shi
    This Myoshinji Rinzai Buddhist temple is a 15-minute walk from Nakatsu Station and can be reached by heading northwest on the Shuzan Kaido road from the Hiraoka Hachiman Intersection ; the temple will be visible on the right-hand side. The temple was famously the family temple of the Okudaira clan, whose members served as lords of the bygone Nakatsu Domain for generations. Established as the Banshoji Temple in 1577, it was moved to its current location when the Okudaira clan was ordered to relocate to the area, at which time its name was changed to its current one. The temple is notable for having a permanent exhibition, the only one of its kind in the country, displaying 47 paintings by Edo period Southern School painter Ike no Taiga. 46 of these have been designated Important Cultural Properties by the prefecture. The temple also displays many other treasures it has accumulated.

    古い建物が残る、中津の諸町の一番端あたりにあります。諸町散策とあわせて訪問しました。立派な山門や本堂がある大きな禅寺です。画家の池大雅と住職が親交があった関係で、池大雅の障壁画が残っており、保存展示されています。有料で見学できます。

    After entering the gate, on the left had side, there is a small hall which is dedicated to Enmadaio, a judge of the dead people. The statue is quite real and frightening.

    Oita Usa-shi Minami Usa 2176

    宇佐神宮の西参道を通って呉橋横に架かる橋を渡って、駐車場へと戻る途中に、極楽寺がありました。お寺自体にこじんまりしていて、歴史を感じる門があり、そこには説明書きもありました。 この極楽寺は、千年以上続いた神仏習合時代の貴重な仏像、歴史的・文化的に重要な数多くの品々を所蔵するお寺です。昭和の大造営によって、現在地に移されるまでは宇佐神宮の境内にあったお寺なんだそうです。

    As there was a sign of “don’t enter”, I didn’t enter the premises. There is a Kishibojin’s statue on the right hand side of the entrance. It is a temple of Nichiren sect.

    石段を少し上った位置に山門が立ち、植木の目立つ境内正面に本堂が配置されていました。寺院巡り寺町の一角に立つ寺院の一つです。猶、山門の寺号とは反対側には、奥平昌章公実父母 五島淡路守盛勝・アキ菩提所 と掲げられていました。

    寺院が多い一角に立っていました。山門を入ると正面に大きな本堂が配置されており、境内の一角には、渉成桜 植えられていました。山門前には詳しい説明書きがあり、創建当時の中津浄喜寺から改称されたそうでした。

    It is a big temple beside Zenkyoji. The premises was not well maintained and became an empty space. It seems to be used as parking. It is not a touristic temple.

    周辺には寺院が立ち並ぶ一角でしたが、一回めは通り過ぎてしまいました。 駐車場の看板は目立つものの山門等は無く、民家の門程度で、境内入口が分かりませんでした。 周囲をぐるぐる回ってしまいました。 境内に入ると、本堂やお堂もありましたが、荒れた雰囲気で、観光気分で参拝するには、場違いでした。 昔は昔なのかもしれませんが.......

Oita Areas

around-area-map

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
