Amida-ji Temple (Kochidani Amida-ji Temple)

4.5

First founded by the monk Tanzei Shonin in 1609 as a place for the study and instruction of the Buddha's teachings. Amongst all the famous locations for viewing the fall colors in the Ohara region the fall colors that can be viewed at Amida Temple are particularly lovely and the temple has been known for its autumn colors as far back as the Edo Period. On the southern side of the road approaching the temple stands an over 800 year old maple tree which has been designated a Natural Memorial and is one of the highlights of the temple.

大原のさらに奥、急な参道の上にある静かな寺。

大原のバス停からさらに1-2km北にあるお寺。国道の旧道（と思われる細い道）沿いの駐車場から、急勾配の参道を歩いて登ると15分くらいかかるのでは（大原バス停から徒歩だと、片道50-60分見ておきたい）。一応参道の6-7分どころまではマイカー・タクシーで上って止めることも可能です。参道の最後は狭いスロープと石段が半々になっているので、車椅子ではちょっと厳しいかも。また、雪の降る時期は閉寺となり拝観で...
大原のさらに奥

Reviewed : 2018.11.25

大原のさらに奥にあるため、訪れる人も少なくひっそりと佇んでいます。けっこうきつい上り坂の参道があるため、足に不安のある方はあきらめた方がよいです。バス便はきわめて少なく、大原から歩くと３０分はかかります。山間のため紅葉はきれいです。
