Kusajisanjofuku Temple - Naka

25th of October Accompanying the 600th anniversary? I was planning to participate in the child procession, but the child procession was canceled due to rain on the day. A commemorative photo taken inside the main hall. It was a very good memorial.

Is beautiful! It is a fine temple. The care is good, and Mr. and Mrs. Osho are also kind and polite!

Amida Nyorai and Senju Kannon will welcome you. The priests are very responsive, and you can enter the main hall at the time of the event and see the beautiful ceiling paintings.

Was it a large temple with a nursery school? Also known as tickling Jizo ⁉️

It was a beautifully maintained temple. There is a nursery school next door. In the back is "Gentaro Inari", where the eldest son of the folk tale "Four Foxes", Gentaro Fox, is enshrined.

It is an impregnable temple built on the site of the main enclosure of Urizura Castle, which became a fierce battlefield during the Northern and Southern Dynasties (laughs). Coco was originally a castle ruin built by the Southern Court Masaie Kusunoki (a relative of Masaie Kusunoki), and was an important base for the Southern Court in Hitachi Province. At the end, the castle fell due to the attack of Mr. Satake in the Northern Court, but the empty moat and earthworks are clearly left behind the main hall. It was later that the temple was built. Also, the tiny Buddha of the Kamakura period, which is a temple treasure, was donated by Mito Komon. It's a small Buddha that can only be seen with a magnifying glass, and I've seen it featured on TV. I saw the real thing as an exhibit at the Kanazawa Bunko Museum in Kanagawa Prefecture, but I was surprised at the transcendental skill of the work.

We have arrived at Urizura's Jofukuji Temple. It is a magnificent mountain gate. Kusachiyama Renkain Jofukuji is a famous temple that is the head temple of the Jodo sect and the family temple of the Mito Tokugawa family. It was opened in 1336 to 1339 during the Nanbokucho period, and was relocated to Urizura Castle Ruins in 1388 when the monk was burned down in 1388, and was rebuilt in 1405. In 1543, Emperor Go-Nara gave him a request for the temple name "Jofukuji", and in 1602, Ieyasu Tokugawa donated 100 stones of red stamped land. At the beginning of the modern era, Jofukuji Temple was greatly developed by the protection of the Shogun Tokugawa family. The existing buildings from the middle to the end of the Edo period are the Sanmon, Sakuramon, Karamon, and Bell Tower, which were often burned down by lightning strikes and fires, and the current main hall was rebuilt in 1995. Thing. The second-generation honorary superior has a flaw in the moon shadow of the first string above the eyebrows, and its appearance is reminiscent of Bunshu Daishi (the perfect figure of a monk in Zen Buddhism), so it is large from the actual superior. I was greeted with expectations and started. After that, the honorary psychic who devoted himself to studying and studying became familiar with domestic and foreign psychics, demonstrated exceptional power in both intellectual and legal power, and visited scholars from various countries to master the mystery of the eight sects and nine sects. It was. In addition, he is familiar with Shinto and waka poems, and it is said that his erudition has surpassed the masses. Honorable superiors are also admired as "Rokuya-sama" and "Crescent superiors", and are the masters of the Jodo sect who made the Jodo sect, whose founder was Honen, the prosperity of today, and are one of the six high ancestors of the Jodo sect. .. For that reason, today, 600 years later, it is widely revered as the "Twenty-six Nights" in the Urizura region and is worshiped as a Buddha of learning. Twenty-six nights (Jofukuji) Known as "Rokuya-san", it will be held on September 26th and 27th of the lunar calendar. It is a festival to hold a memorial service for rewarding superiors who have made achievements in the reconstruction of Jofukuji Temple. Honorable Shonin is a teacher of the Jodo sect who made the Jodo sect, whose founder was Honen sect, prosperous today, and is one of the six high ancestors of the Jodo sect. It is also called the Shogei superior. Today, it is revered as the "Twenty-six Nights" and is visited by many as a Buddhist scholar. I want to see it once.

I visited for the first time. It was a very nice temple. I also got a red stamp.
