Horaku-ji Temple

Temple
This temple is a four-minute walk from Minamitanabe Station. It is one of the 36 Fudo Temples in the Kinki Region and is affectionately called Tanabe-no-ofudo-san. Built in 1178, it is said to have originated when Taira no Shigemori placed Minamoto Yoshitomo's sacred personal Buddhist statue at the site. As you walk through the temple gate, the Dainichi Buddha of Kongokai (diamond world of buddha) is enshrined in the three-storied pagoda. On the right, a large 800-year-old camphor tree is standing, creating a calm scenery. In 1978, an original piece of the national treasure, Ao (Blue) Fudo of Shourenin Temple in Kyoto was found here and listed as an Important Cultural Property.

    地下鉄の田辺駅から徒歩5分程です。おおさか十三仏霊場第1番札所です。住宅街にある綺麗なお寺さんで、小さくもなく大きくもなくで参拝しやすかったです。
  • 新しい三重塔が立派

    大阪市南部の寺社仏閣巡りの際に訪問しました。地下鉄田辺駅から10分足らずでした。現在は真言宗のお寺で、境内には新しい立派な三重塔があります。本堂には不動明王をお祀りしています。また、境内には水かけ不動も安置されています。住宅街にあるお寺ですが、立派なお寺でした。

    阪和線南田辺駅から出発して、近鉄南大阪線今川まで町歩きをしてみます。南田辺駅は天王寺から二駅、通勤に便利な住宅街です。すぐ近くに真言宗の法楽寺という、三重塔が建って境内が広い立派なお寺があります。田辺寄席や慈光寺寄席と、上方落語に所縁の深い場所です
