Nagao-ji Temple

Temple

3.5

The Nagao-ji Temple is the 87th temple of the Shikoku 88-temple Pilgrimage. There are several different stories regarding the Temple’s origins, but the most widely-quoted story is that the Temple was founded when the bodhisattva Gyoki carved a statue of the bodhisattva Kannon and built a temple to install the statue in. Subsequently, when Kobo Daishi was preparing to travel to China to study Buddhist teachings there, he spent a period of seven days at the Temple, starting from New Year, performing the Gomakito fire ceremony to pray for a successful journey. A Daieyo ceremony is still held at the Temple every year on the seventh day of January in commemoration of this event. During this event, there is a competition in which participants compete to see who can carry a huge rice cake, which weighs 150 kilograms and is decorated with the Three Jewels, for the longest distance.

長尾寺は花が多いのと、今年は暖かいので3月下旬でも花々が満開でした。さくら以外でもハクモクレン、サンシュユ、アセビ、ヒイラギナンテン、コノテガシワ、名前を知らない花々が春を謳歌するように咲き誇ってました。
