Bentendo - Otsu

It is a mysterious place with a dignified atmosphere. Benzaiten is enshrined. There is a sacred tree in the back of the temple, which gives power. It is recommended to refresh your mind and pray when you want to do your best again.

The people at the temple were kind and I was able to visit them comfortably.

The approach from Cable Enryakuji Station is well maintained, but there are some steep slopes. The area around the temple has a unique atmosphere that is different from the other areas of Enryakuji Temple. A guard dog in the precincts? There was. Of course they were connected, but they barked quite violently. Please be careful when worshiping.

When I visited here, the fog was deep and I felt like I was about to meet spirited away. If you are not confident in your legs, be prepared to go down the slope from Cable Enryakuji.

It takes a lot of physical strength to visit There are definitely no tourists, and you can enjoy sightseeing in silence. A wonderful little-known spot.

One of the Three Great Shrines of Mt. Hiei, which has been worshiped since ancient times. It is on the way down from Cable Enryakuji to Meiodo. There are no cats, but wild flying squirrels have settled in. It's a long way down, so be prepared for your return. It takes 20 minutes on foot to Cable Enryakuji Station. There is a guardian deity on the 1st of every month and 11 o'clock on Sundays and public holidays, and you can take care of it. Please have lunch while chatting with the priest. There are times when it is not convenient for the priest, so if you want to go, you should ask directly by phone. It seems that the "heaven" of Benzaiten is one of the six ways, like the human world. An existence that cannot be a "Buddha" even though it is at the highest level. He seems to listen to any human wishes. The mediator is a ward. Every year on November 3rd, there is a heavenly party, and Benzaiten stays in heaven until spring. The answering machine is Ugajin. It seems that Benzaiten will hear you later if you neglect it because you don't have it.

? The sutra that divides the lack of money ⚡️ Poor Dharani ⚡️ Birthplace ‥ ☝️ However, It's a rough act that you have to sing 10,000 times ... The incarnation of God has appeared ?… Hieizan Benten-do feels like it transcends the god of good fortune ... The origin is that when a high priest visited this area for training, the high priest who encountered the white snake was an incarnation of a celestial maiden, so it is said that the main hall was built after the white snake passed away. In other words, it is a temple where the white snake becomes a god. The statue that was born there is also called Uga Tsukiten. here‥ ・ Ugajin ・ Ukanomitama God (Inari God) ・ Otsuka Tenninson ・ Dragon God It is a hall that enshrines and gives off a unique atmosphere. I think that the people who come to worship so far definitely have a connection with Benzaiten and the white snake, it was Benten-do that seems to be so.

Hieizan Railway Line Sakamoto Cable Go down the valley near Hieizan Station, start walking lightly, there was a guide board, but there is no indication of the required time or distance, and you can not see the building even if you go No one passed by for 10 minutes after starting the descent, and I started to regret a little, and when I went down such a steep slope, it was difficult to climb back. About 20 minutes down, I passed by a person for the first time, and finally I saw a building (Big Benzaiten), but I could see an unmanned building, and finally I could see a number of buildings lined up, Mudoji Benten-do, I visited in the back and received a red stamp. I will. The gods of performing arts and water, snakes and dragons are gods' messengers. Benzaiten is a god of women and likes sweets (offerings), and when you visit a man and a woman, you will be jealous. The red lanterns in the hall have an atmosphere, but they create a different space. The tied guard dog keeps barking at me as a suspicious person. I asked the priest if there was another way, but he laughed bitterly that it would be difficult, and I was prepared to go back the way I came. It took about 40 minutes for a round trip, and it was dense. There are no street lights in the woods and it is dim, and there are some unpaved areas due to rapid climbs, so please be careful of your feet. There is no toilet facility on the way, so if you are worried about returning, it is better to rent a toilet at the reception desk before returning, so you will be kindly guided. "It's good to go and I'm scared to go home," but I'm glad I visited. I didn't have time to spare, so I turned back here, but I regret that I wish I could go further down from here and visit Meiodo, Daijoin, Homanin, etc. I would like to visit again if possible.
