Kojakuji Temple

Temple
Kojakuji Temple is a Soto sect temple on Mt. Iimori in Asuke Town, Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. In order to hold a memorial service for the departed powerful Asuke clan, the temple was built among the remains of the Asuke clan residence in 1427. In the mountains there is a stone image of the sixteen arhats, and the tombs of the Asuke Castle Lords and five generations of the Asuke clan. The eleventh chief priest of the temple known as the father of momiji, planted maple and cedar trees in the area and now it is famous for its beautiful autumn leaves. Because it is located in the middle of the Korankei Gorge, many tourists come to visit in the fall.

    東海随一とも言われる紅葉の名所香嵐渓は、シーズンになると巴橋から待月橋までの巴川両岸に観光客が密状態となりますが、飯盛山の登り口に当たるこのお寺も、実に美事な紅葉が見られます。観光客が写らないように写真を撮るのは困難な人気ぶりです。飯盛山まで登らなくても十分美しいのですが、正面の石段だけでもお年寄りには難所です。

    地名ともなっている足助一族の菩提寺で、香嵐渓という呼び名の元となった古寺です。、紅葉祭りの間、山道や境内に灯される竹灯籠の仄かな光がきれいでした。
  • 香嵐渓の山の上のお寺

    香嵐渓の山の上のお寺で、坂が急で諦めましたが、紅葉の季節には味わいのある道です。川沿いから階段で上がるのですが、紅葉があちこちきれいです。
