Kanzan-ji Temple
"Records state this ancient Soto Buddhist temple was founded in 810 during the Heian period. The temple was originally a Shingon Buddhist temple which bore the honorary mountain name of ""Chureizan,"" but after the Meiji period movement to expel Buddhism, the temple's honorific mountain name was changed to ""Akihasan"" and the temple itself became the Soto Buddhist temple it is today. Located in the deepest reaches of the local hot spring district, the temple's principal object of worship is a statue called the ""Fukuichi Akasagarbha."" A Kshitigarbha (Jizo) statue stands on the east side of the main temple which is called the Enmusubi Jizo and which is believed to bring luck in finding love and marriage. The shelter around the statue is covered with ema votive tablets, hung by worshippers, which are decorated with the Japanese character for ""heart"" and an image of a lock, a design the temple has used on its ema since ancient times."

- 舘山寺温泉商店街らしき道を奥に進んでいくと、舘山寺に到着する。お寺自体は広くないが、景色は素晴らしい

- 眼病平癒のパワースポット
- 舘山寺の本堂裏手を少し上った所にあって、弘法大師が修行した洞穴で、自作の石仏が安置されています。そして、「穴大師」と呼ばれ、眼病平癒に関しては功徳が計り知れないと云われています。ちなみに、案内図によると、更に約10分程歩くと「展望台」や「富士見岩」があり、天候の良い日は富士山が見えるそうです。

- 舘山寺の散策路に
- 寒山寺の散歩に行ったので一体の散策路を歩いてきました。舘山寺の本堂から5分も歩けば見つかります。入りからは狭いので頭の上の岩を注意しながら入ることが出来ます。たくさんの絵馬が奉納されていて。眼病平癒を願って祀られているようです。
