도쿠시마현 지역의 역사/문화/견학 명소

only few people there. since it was so hot day, very calm and I had a relaxed time in there. temple is always as it should be.

The statue and location of the statue itself is kind of disappointing but the backdrop of the scenery and valley is stunning! Just driving around the valley is gorgeous. The statue just happened to...

For an insight into this traditional dance and music plus lots of fun and audience participation this is the place to go in Tokushima. Performers are in various age groups from the very young (and...

This shrine complex is very expansive, and tucked into the mountains, so is a nice place to walk around....there is even a stream running through the grounds. We went on New Years Day, and it was...

This is the museum that was built to remember the German prisoners who spent the war years in a camp run by the Japanese government. The museum itself is very well done and includes many samples of...

This amazing little town nesttled in the hills is worth exploring. There is a bus service to take you to your place of stay or you can use the local Taxi. The people are friendly and here are some...

Worth a visit, but dont expect there to be much there. The temple, while pretty enough, is spoiled a little by the presence of vending machines and signs and whatnot. Quite a trek up through the...

Hidden down on the south east coast of Shikoku, Tokushima is this lovely little Aquarium mainly made up of all different kinds of Turtles amd Tortoises. For two hundred million years Loggerhead...

初めての場合は、渦潮を見に行く前に行った方がいいと思います。 橋の歴史や渦潮についていろいろ知ることができます。

Visited this temple as part of my 88 Temple Pilgrimage. When I visited, the only options were to either walk or take the cable car. The cable car costs ¥2400 for the round trip, but if you take your...

Peaceful among the Cedars and Cypress Trees. Unpenji has 500 Arhat States that it is famous for, made in recent years, they line some of the pathways, all with different faces and postures. Beautiful...

I loved everything about this place. Get there about 30 minutes early and catch the guided museum tour; a docent shows how the puppets work. The museum exhibits are all in English as well as...

駐車場は裏にあります。徳島市を目指してドライブ中道案内を見つけふらりと寄ってみました。お遍路さんもたくさんいましたが、私たちのようなお遍路さんではない人も見受けられました。

四国お遍路で車で回りました。お寺の反対側には広い駐車場がありました。 門をくぐると立派な本堂が見えてきます。

家族と散策ついでに参拝しようと訪れると、住職？職員？の年配男性に納経所が開いていないことを理由に無礼極まりない態度で追い返されました。 納経不要だと言っているのに聞く耳持たず。おかげで印象は最悪です。手を合わせることすらさせないとは一体どういう了見か？古刹にあのような人間を置く気が知れない。 予め、参拝者を歓迎しない不快な人間に出くわすかもという心構えを持っておくと落胆が軽くて済むでしょう。ご注意...

四国巡礼の十九番札所。駐車場は有料になります。山門をくぐると左手に本堂があります。右的には多宝塔と大師堂があります。聖武天皇の勅願のお寺といわれ、行基が刻んだといわれる小さな延命地蔵を祀っていました。弘法大師が等身大の地蔵菩薩を彫り、行基の地蔵は体内仏としているそうです。また、肉付鐘の伝承が残ります。

萱原から徒歩で鶴林寺を目指し歩き続けましたが、此処でも水戸黄門現象が起きて しまい非常に疲れてしまった。 鶴林寺からの帰りは車道をひたすら歩いて道の駅で昼食、勝浦線のバスで徳島市内 に帰りました。

This is probably my favorite among the 12 temples that I visited as part of the 88 Temple pilgrimage. Its not grand or imposing but has a very lived-in feel, not touristy at all. There is a...
