箱庭を眼下に見おろす法雲寺

Reviewed : 2020.08.01

庭園のあるお寺ということで立ち寄りました。本堂から庭園を見下ろすと池を中心に箱庭のような景色が広がります。高低差のある庭園で俯瞰できるので面白いですね。樹々の緑の中で、赤い本堂もよい色彩です。
またまた参拝しに来た

美しい浄土庭園

Reviewed : 2019.09.28

秩父鉄道白久駅から山道を上った所にある臨済宗建長寺派のお寺で、秩父観音霊場第三十番に指定されています。境内の中央に池を配した美しい浄土庭園があり、観音堂や方丈が庭園を囲んで配置され、落着いた雰囲気があります。本尊の如意輪観音は秘仏ですが、毎年4月18日に開帳されるそうなので時期を合わせて訪れると良いでしょう。
