Byakugoji Temple

Temple
This temple is located about 10 minutes by car from the Maizuru Expressway's Kasuga Interchange. Founded by the monk Hodo in 705, the principal object of worship is a hidden hibutsu image brought from India of Yakushi Ruriko Nyorai. The temple was destroyed by fire during Akechi Mitsuhide's attack on Tamba but was rebuilt in the late 1500s. Along with cherries and azaleas, the temple features a wisteria variety known as kyushaku-fuji with clusters reaching as long as 180 centimeters. They spread along a 120-meter wisteria trellis that's a sight to behold when in full bloom. The Kyushaku-fuji Festival is held to coincide with the flowering of the wisteria and sees a flood of tourists come to the temple every year.

  • 九尺藤のライトアップが楽しめる場所である。
    5.0 Reviewed : 2023.05.17
    丹波市にある天台宗の寺院。丹波地区の藤の名所として知られており、花の時期にはライトアップが行われる。休日の昼間はとても混雑しており、長い車列の駐車場待ちが起こるが、夜は些かマシのようでえる。最寄りの道の駅丹波おばあちゃんの里も混雑しているために、JR福知山線市島駅からタクシーを利用するか、1時間歩く選択をした方が無難である。訪れるには何かと不便である場所ではあるが、咲き誇る長い花穂の藤の花...
  • 九尺藤が素晴らしい

    毎年藤の開花にあわせて開かれる、藤まつりを見学。境内をぬけたところに藤棚があり、見事な九尺藤が香り高く咲いています。こちらの藤はとても美しい。丹波の奥ですが、行くだけの価値はあります。
  • 季節の花が楽しめます

    JR福知山線市島駅から車で8分くらいのところにある天台宗のお寺。セッコクやツツジ、百日紅、スイレン、ハスなど四季の花々が次々と咲きます。
