Museum of Tibetan Buddhism / Kanki -jinja Shrine

Art Museum
"Located next to Shirahama Town's Sakata Park, the museum and shrine here share the same premises. The art museum displays 150 pieces on Lamaism, Hinduism, and Esoteric Japanese Buddhism; including Buddhist statuary normally not open to view (Photography is prohibited in the hall). Right as you leave the art museum, you'll find Kanki Shrine (Sakata Shrine). Known for the boons of marital happiness, pregnancy and smooth delivery, and match making, its home to the stones of the Mt. Sakata Ritual Site used more than 1,300 years ago. What's more, as Prince Arima once visited Shirahama Onsen, they offer a photo service called the “Asuka Romance Experience"" where you can get your picture taken wearing Asuka period clothing."

Review

  • 何故か怖かった・・・
    3.0 Reviewed : 2021.05.13
    歓喜神社と併設されております。美術館というか博物館的な。しかし気になったのは中の空気の重さ・・・快晴でとても気持ちの良い日だったのに、しかも入り口も開けてあるのにびっくりするほど濃密な空気と気配に怖くなり、(入場者は私ひとりだったこともあり)じっくり展示を見ることもなく足早に出てきてしまいました。尚、コロナ禍で猫は触れません。
  • 入館料が掛かるパワースポット

    いわゆる珍宝館のような場所。でも子宝に恵まれるとの事で行ってみたら本当に自然妊娠し、びっくり!ここのご利益かも??猫が沢山居て、モフれます♡珍宝館→神社→小売店で、20分もあれば十分
  • 美術館と神社

    入場料500円を払って中に。最初は美術館。いろんな秘仏が展示されています。次に歓喜神社(阪田神社)。子宝、夫婦和合のご利益があるそうです。御朱印は入り口でいただけます。
