Tokurinan Temple, Yamashina-Jizo

3.5

A Buddhist temple just a five-minute walk from Keihan Shinomiya Station established by the 260th head of the Nanzen-ji Temple, Un-ei Shoui. It was founded in 1550 to pray for happiness in the next world for Saneyasu-Shinno. Enshrined is the Tokurinan Jizo Bodhisattva Statue, one of the six stops of the Jizo pilgrimage along the former Tokaido Road where people on the Roku-Jizo Pilgrimage would pray for family safety and sound health. The statue of Jizo stands nearly three meters tall and was carved during the Heian period. The Jizo Festival Roku-Jizo Pigrimage which occurs on August 22nd and 23rd is one of the traditional events that marks the Kyoto summer and draws crowds of visitors.

ちょっとそこまで、徳林庵ヘ！

Reviewed : 2020.03.12

京都山科にある旧東海道沿いに徳林庵はありました。古さを感じ雰囲気がいいですよ。南禅寺第260世雲英によって1550年に創建されました。六角形の形が魅力的で六地蔵巡りのひとつとされ親しまれています。ベンチもありますので休憩ももいいでしょう。
徳林庵とお地蔵さん

徳林庵さんはお地蔵さんのお堂で早朝からお経をあげている。毎年8月22にちと23日は六地蔵巡りで参る人で通りが賑わう

JR、京阪電車山科駅から旧東海道を東へ歩いて行けます、4〜5分で六角堂が見えてきます京都、山科では六地蔵巡りで有名ですが、普段は近隣の方々の憩いの場になっているようです
