長弓寺 円生院 - Ikoma

It is too great

Only in front of the gate

It is a power spot. The autumn leaves are also beautiful

It is a quaint temple when you calm down. The colorful hydrangeas are very beautiful now.

I like the scenery in a residential area where nature remains.

One of the towers of Choyumi-ji Temple in Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture, is dedicated to Fudo Myo Ou.

[Chokyuji] is a Shingon Risshu temple located in Kamimachi, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture. The mountain number is Mayumiyama, the principal image is Eleven-faced Kannon, and Kaisan (founder) is Gyoki. The main hall of the national treasure is known as a masterpiece of esoteric Buddhist temples during the Kamakura period. There are several theories about the construction of Chokyuji Temple, and I do not see the established theory. According to "Chokyuji Engi", it is said that Emperor Shomu opened the temple to the monk Gyoki in mourning for Mayumi Takeyumi, a powerful tribe who died when he hit his son's flow arrow in the Nara period, and later Yoshitsugu Fujiwara arranged the temple tower. It is said that It is said that there were 20 temples at the time of the peak, but now only 4 temples remain. According to folklore, in the 5th year of Jinki (728), a person named Mayumi Ono, a longbow of Torimi Township, accompanied Emperor Shomu to hunt. When Nagamaro, the son of a longbow who accompanied him, saw a mysterious bird take off and fired an arrow, the arrow accidentally hit the longbow and he died. Shomu, who pitied the unlucky longbow father and son, ordered the monk Gyoki to build a temple. Gyoki enshrined the eleven-faced Kannon image and made it the principal image. There is a Buddha face on the top of the eleven-faced Kannon statue, which is said to be a carved bow of Shomu. "Torimi (Tomi)" is an old place name that refers to the eastern foot of Mt. Ikoma, where Chokyuji Temple is located, and appears in the myth of Emperor Jimmu's Eastern Conquest. It corresponds to Ikoma City from the current western part of Nara City. After that, it is said that Fujiwara no Yoshitsugu (716-777) revived during the time of Emperor Kanmu (737-806), but the coronation of Kanmu is 781 after Yoshitsune's death, so it is not suitable for the times. According to another tradition, it was founded by Fujiwara no Otsugu (774-843) in the early Heian period. Since then, the history up to the Middle Ages is not very clear, but it is clear that the current main hall was built in Koan 2 (1279) from the purlin inscription, and was revived by Eison (1201-1290), the founder of the Shingon Risshu sect. It was done. The Izanagi Shrine on the east side of the precincts of Chokyuji was called Gozutennosha before the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, and was built by Emperor Shomu as a guardian of Chokyuji in the temple biography. It is said that it was made to do. Before the early modern period, the belief in a mixture of gods and Buddha was practiced, as can be seen from the torii standing at the entrance to the approach to Chokyuji Temple. The main hall of the national treasure is built in the back of the precincts, and Izanagi Shrine and Yakushiin are on the right side (east), and Enseiin, Hokkein, and Hokkein are on the left side (west). There is no chief priest at the main temple of Choyumi-ji, and four towers protect the main hall in a rotating system. Location: 4443 Kamimachi, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture
