Fukumanji Temple

The soba was delicious.

A wonderful trap, including the treasure pill doctor statue

A quiet, quiet temple. If you make a reservation, you can worship a large Yakushi Nyorai statue.

It is a wonderful temple that feels mysterious. Because there are a lot of hydrangea trees The time of hydrangea may be beautiful ♪ There is also a large parking lot and a clean toilet. However, it is not for disabled people.

According to the historical material "Shinfu Toki" on the history of Shinshu and Matsumoto Domain-compiled in the Edo period-En no Gyōja was founded in the 7th century, and in the middle of the 9th century, the direct disciple of Saicho, the founder of the Tendai sect Was erected. There is a legend that Kokaku opened a Shugendo sacred place in this area because Yakushi Nyorai appeared from Mt. After that, when Jikaku Daishi stopped by Omi-go on a tour of Togoku, he was led by Yakushi Nyorai's Reiko to reach the middle of Mt. Hijiri, where he built a sacred place for Tendai esoteric Buddhism and built Fukumanji Temple. That's right. The mountain name Nunokouzan is said to have been named because both the actors and Jikaku Daishi were guided by the light of Yakushi Nyorai to build a sacred place in this area. It is said that at the time of the founding, it was located behind the fault scarp on the south slope of the sacred mountain in the mountains, which is called Ueibori-at an altitude of about 1000 meters and near a pond. Nowadays, the area is called "Temple Temple", but there are other temples around the temple such as "Yakushi no Hasuike", "Kanebado", "Bodaira", "Dodaimon", and "Half-resident". The place name related to is left. If you look at it, there may have been a large town village in the depths of the mountain, which was equipped with a Shugendo sacred place and a seven-door temple, and was lined with many temples, or a small town of Mt. Koya. I think there was a base city where many high priests, scholars, and scholars who had studied in China gathered and maintained advanced knowledge and arts and close cultural exchanges with Nara and Kyoto.
