Jissoji - Nishio

About 10 cherry trees are planted around the square and it is worth seeing. It seems that donations are currently being held for the repair of important cultural properties.

Founder Bunmonaga A temple with a history of 8 years and 1271 years. It visited on March 31, but it is a cherry blossoms tree

Kuromatsu is wonderful against wind and snow. Shakado is dignified and has a high historical value. In 1560, the following year, the cathedral has disappeared by Oda Nobunaga!

One of the largest temples in Nishio City. When I visited, it was a pity that I couldn't see it at all because the length was being restored and covered with white. The repair work will continue until next year. The Buddhist temple and pine trees were impressive.

It is a temple with a history that is said to have been built in 1271 by Mitsuru Mitsuru as the temple of Kira. I was overwhelmed by the beauty and power of Mikawa Black Pine.

Jitsusoji was built in 1271 during the Kamakura period as Kira's family temple. At that time, it was proud of its magnificent cathedral, but many Dou were burned down by Oda Nobunaga's fire. The Shakado (pictured) built in the Muromachi period, surrounded by the forest of Mikawa black pine in the photo, conveys the remnants of those days.

The official name of the temple is "Mt. It is a Zen temple of the historic Rinzai sect Myoshinji school, which was built in the 8th year of Bun'ei (1271) during the Kamakura period. The highlight of the precincts is the giant black pine trees planted on both sides of the approach. In particular, the pair of pine trees on the left and right of Shakado is a famous tree that is over 200 years old and is worth a visit. Shakado is also a designated cultural property of Aichi Prefecture, and the thatched roof that is covered with thin boards is beautiful. Unfortunately, the old main hall built during the Keicho era was under repair and could not be seen.

Unfortunately, the area beyond the gate is under construction, so I only saw the pine trees and Shakado. Pine forests planted on both sides of the approach There are five pine trees that are about 200 to 250 years old, and the historical landscape is worth a visit. In addition, it seems that it is this Kuromatsu (city designated cultural property). Shakado, which is a cultural property designated by the prefecture, is also quite astringent. I've been snapping pine trees and Shakado. See below from Nishio Tourism HP It is said that Jissoji Temple, the lord of the Saijo castle, was built by Mitsuru Ashikaga in 1271 as the family temple of the medieval Kira who ruled Kira-so Saijo. We welcomed Enni from Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto, and a magnificent cathedral was built following the picture of Jingshan Temple in China, and prospered as Ankokuji Temple in Mikawa. It is also said that Seiichi Kokushi brought tea to this region. It is said that when Takataka Ohara, who is famous as a warrior of Yoshimoto Imagawa, entered the temple in 1546, he changed to the Myoshinji school and burned down many of the temples due to the fire with Mr. Oda. After that, it is said that Ieyasu's vassal, Torii Mototada, reconstructed it. Surrounded by a splendid forest of Mikawa black pine (a cultural property designated by the city), Shakado (a cultural property designated by the prefecture) was built during the Muromachi period. Every year on the second Sunday of April, "Shaka-san" (flower festival) is crowded with many worshipers, and it is said that the Shakyamuni statue (prefectural designated cultural property) and the four heavenly king statues (city designated cultural property) will be open to the public. .. In the precincts, there are many cultural properties that tell the prosperity of the medieval Jitsusoji Temple, such as the Yabahobetsu-type Bonsho (prefectural designated cultural property) influenced by the Chinese bell and the Nyoirin Kannon sitting statue (city designated cultural property) of Hojo Honzon. In addition, Hojo and Kuri are designated cultural properties of the city as buildings that often retain the style of Zen Buddhism architecture of the Edo period.
