Shogetsuin Temple

Temple
Shogetsuin Temple is a temple of the Soto school of Zen Buddhism and is situated on a hill about five minutes’ walk from Ito Station. The temple is also known as Hana-dera (flower temple) or Sakura-dera (cherry blossom temple) because of the many cherry trees planted there, including the rare higan (early-flowering) cherry tree. The temple is famous for its spectacular views overlooking Ito City and the sea. It is also the family temple and birthplace of Mokutaro Kinoshita, a literary man from Ito. In the beautifully maintained gardens are a slab with a haiku engraved onto it and a writing-brush burial mound, and in the lake next to the main temple is Bentendo Hall devoted to the goddess Saraswati. It is one of the stops on the tour of the Seven Deities of Good Fortune.

    昨年2月に行きました。伊東駅の裏から高台に登っていくのでここからは景色が良かったです。庭園も美しかったです。
  • 駐車場も完備し境内からの海の景色も素敵です。

    境内のベンチがある場所から海の景色が綺麗に見えます。伊東公園の頂上からより遥かに素敵です。お弁当を食べながら堪能できますよ。

    JR伊東駅から栄えていない側にあります。伊東公園を抜けて行きました。本堂近くに大きな鬼瓦があり、建て替え前に使用していた物です。庭園もあり、良かったです〇
