Jinzoji - Kameoka

There were a lot of owls ? in the temple and it was cute. The photo is a part, so please go and look for it.

21/09/18 I heard that the autumn leaves are beautiful, so I came for a preview as a drive. It is a quiet temple with almost no people, and there is a box to put the worship fee on the left side where the vermilion bridge at the entrance is hung. When you pass through it, there is a tree that looks like it is lying down on the gate, and a lot of wild grass (Dendrobium monilis) grows along with the moss, giving it a nice feeling. When I went up the stairs and went to the back, there was a small garden and there was only one "Maple" with colored leaves. A little red maple was shining in the blue sky. There are a lot of maple leaves here, so I'd like to come and take a picture in the fall.

I visited on March 11th. It is a western pharmacist sacred place. It's a small temple, but it's well maintained and very calm. It will be even more beautiful during the autumn colors. I would like to visit again. However, access to the temple is difficult. Cars cannot face each other on the road 400 meters in front of the temple parking lot. (Actually, I had an oncoming vehicle retreat when I visited.) Please be careful. In addition, it seems that traffic control is attached at the time of autumn leaves.

[Forty-nine Pharmacists of the West Country • Forty-third Fan•Shenzou Temple] The founder of Shinzo-ji Temple was the master of the missionary master who established Hieizan Enryaku-ji Temple and became the founder of the Tendai sect. In the ninth year of Yanli (1990), when Master Zuizumi was practicing in the Huifeng towering in the west of the Kameoka Basin, he opened a dojo at the foot of Lingfeng Asahi Mountain. From the top of Mount Asahi, you can still see the mountains of Mount Hiei, which is very magnificent. During the calendar years, Gen Raimitsu and Gen Raizheng lived in this large temple with twenty-six courtyards such as the Buddhist hall and the Garan Pagoda. As a result, Shinzo Temple worshipped Genji very deeply. In the 4th (1180) year of Jicheng 4 (1180), Yuan Yoshizō sent troops, and the monk soldiers of Jinzang Temple and the monk soldiers of Mitsui Temple also participated, but they were defeated by Heike·Heike Kiyomori. Because the territory was confiscated, Shinzo Temple was also abandoned. The monk's house was rebuilt in the first year of the Tiantai sect (Jiazheng) (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th), and the conversion of Hosokawa Yoshimoto under the control of the Muromachi shogunate in Oinaga (1390～1420) brought Jinzōji's prosperity again. However, in the third year of Tensho (1575), according to Oda Nobunaga’s order, Akechi Mitsuhide burned all the shrines and temples for the peace of Tanba, but due to the cleverness of the followers of Shinzoji, the deity used straw mats. Wrapped up and hidden in the river next to the main hall, only survived. The name of the clear stream "Ganchuan" that flows next to the temple originates from this legend. After that, in the second (1563) year of Chengying 2 (1563), the Pure Land Sect Guangming Temple Sect·Yanxi Master rebuilt the main hall, Amitabha Hall and Bell Tower again. In the seventh year of Yanbao (1679), the lord of Kameyama Castle Matsudaira Iga Shou Tadao invited the monk Gao Yin Xuanhou as the abbot and patron saint of Zou Temple. The temple was also classified as the "Rinto Sect Myoshinji School", and the peace has been passed down from generation to generation.

Autumn leaves ? are almost in autumn colors as of November 9th. The one a little later had blue maple leaves, so it may be more beautiful. The parking lot is free and the admission fee is 300 yen. I can hardly see the inside of the temple, so maybe the autumn leaves are the main thing?

This is a recommended place for people who want to avoid the city of Kyoto and enjoy the autumn leaves with a relatively small number of people. It will arrive in about 15 minutes from Kameoka city. The road from the road to the parking lot is narrow, and it is the last road to cross. It's about 200m, but it's difficult to cross each other, so you should avoid big cars. Enter 300 yen as a parking lot management fee (admission fee) at the parking lot entrance or at the crossing of the bridge. The precincts are not very large, but they are full of autumn leaves and are beautiful. It is a temple that you definitely want to visit. recommendation You can enjoy all lenses from wide-angle to macro. Especially around 24mm is fun.
