Jofukuji - Kyoto

Although it is not attractive as a temple in Kyoto, its vast grounds and long approach from Akamon keep the old glory. Open the sliding door on the back of the warehouse and press the doorbell on the right pillar. There are three, and there are instructions to press all three. The friendly wife who came out kindly responded to the red stamp. It is a temple suitable for walking.

It is famous for "Akamon" and "Kuromon". In fact, I also told people who were nearby. Because it is adjacent to a kindergarten, you can hear cute voice songs and be healed. There is a splendid temple and bells when you go inside and it is a good temple! It is a temple with a history.

[Related to Shimazu Toshihisa] Exposed at Ichijo Modoribashi, temporarily buried here after neck, and 200 years later, the neck becomes the same at Hiramatsu Shrine (Shindakeji) in Kyushu It is said that Toshihisa's neck was delivered to Hideyoshi of Hizen Nagoya Castle for a head hunt, and then sent to Jurakudai in Kyoto, where he was exposed to Ichijo Modoribashi. It is said that this place has long been a place to expose the necks of robbers and other sinners. At the time when Toshihisa was exposed, Tadatake Shimazu, his cousin, was just in Kyoto, and he tried to steal it from his vassal, Gyokuchu, at Daitokuji Temple. , Buried in Kyoto Jofukuji Temple, and a stone pagoda was built. Then, Hisaaki Shimazu, the 14th generation of the Hioki Shimazu family (the 4th priest of Terukuni Shrine), who is the descendant of Toshihisa, climbed to Kyoto in 1872 and brought his head back to Kagoshima, while at Sozenji Temple It is said that the body that had been buried was also dug up and integrated with it and reburied at Hiramatsu Shrine (Shindakeji). After more than two hundred years, the neck and torso were finally buried together. Furthermore, at the end of the Taisho era or the beginning of the Showa era, it was reinterred at the site of Daijoji Temple, which was the family temple of the Hioki Shimazu family.

A kindergarten is also managed in a wide precinct, and the voices of the children are done, but the rest is silent.

I was surprised to find such a large temple in the precincts of a densely populated residential area. The main hall is imposing. It's a very well-known temple.

It is called Mt. Esho and belongs to the Jodo sect. Because there is Akamon, it is also called Akamonji or Murakumoji. At first, it was said that the Tendai sect was founded during the calendar year (782-802), and it was one of the 25 great temples at that time. Frequently struck by fire, it was rebuilt in Ichijomuraun by the order of Emperor Uta in 1276, and then in 1525 at the end of the Muromachi period, he received the title of Nembutsu Sanmai-do from Emperor Kashiwabara and doubled as the Jodo sect. Later, I belonged to Chion-in. It was relocated to this area in the first year of Genna (1615), and the current Dou was rebuilt in Kyoho 18 (1733). The statue of Amida Nyorai, the principal idol, is enshrined in the main hall, and Shakyamuni Buddha, which is said to have been introduced to the Three Kingdoms, is enshrined in the main hall. Temple treasures include the 25 Bodhisattva Raigozu (important cultural property of the Kamakura period) and the statue of Tosa Mitsunobu Ten Kings (important cultural property of the Muromachi period). In the graveyard of the precincts, there are many tombs of famous lords and lords, including Emperor Kokaku and Princess Reimishinin. In 1788 (Tenmei 8), the greatest fire in history in Kyoto, the so-called Great Fire of Tenmei, broke out and the fire approached Jofukuji Temple, but it stopped just before this red-painted east gate. It is said that the tengu that came down from Kurama stopped the fire, and the tengu extinguished the fire by blowing a huge fan on the red gate. Kurama's tengu has various legends, but there is a legend of such a tengu here at Jofukuji Temple, and a tengu that extinguished the fire is enshrined beside it. The main hall, which consists of two buildings, has an unusual style. In the middle of the Edo period, the depth was limited by the 8th Shogun Yoshimune, and the temple was forced to build the hall in this way. There is also talk of a violation of the original architecture. In March 1867 (Keio 3), the Satsuma Domain, which had advanced into Kyoto politics, brought in 700 people, led by Saigo, but the existing Nihonmatsu Mansion (currently on the north side of Kyoto Gyoen National Garden, inside Doshisha University) was the only clan. It was not possible to accommodate it, and it was said that the main hall of Jofukuji Temple and the guest room were rented for accommodation. It seems that the sword wound is also on the pillar. It is called Mt. Esho and belongs to the Jodo sect. Because there is Akamon, it is also called Akamonji or Murakumoji.

A temple of the Jodo sect called Eshoyama Jofukuji, The principal image is Amida Nyorai, This is a famous Gongendo hall in a corner of the precincts among some enthusiasts. During the Great Fire of Tenmei that struck Kyo Tengu (Goho Maouson) got off from Mt. Kurama and blew out the fire with a fan! ?? (It's up to you to believe or not) A vintage tengu votive tablet is dedicated to the temple. Some of them dedicated Nintendo Hanafuda ? This is from the above-mentioned fire-fighting It's because of the gambler's belief that he won't be gambling and burned. ★ There is a kindergarten, and the appearance of the parents who pick up and drop off is conspicuous. Be aware that if a man holds a camera on a weekday and makes a mistake, he may be treated as a suspicious person! !! If you want to visit, let's do it on weekends and holidays. Also, on the 25th of every Saturday, we open the book (2-4 pm) for the Buddha from Mikuni. It seems that it has been canceled due to the corona disaster these days.
