Mutsugokokuji - Aomori

Tsugaru Koho Daishi Cemetery Hachibanbansho Koyasan Shingon Sect n

The scenery was beautiful

A warm temple. Serious and enthusiastic temple management can be liked.

The hydrangea was beautiful.

When asked if it is a good place for ordinary people to visit, like a shrine, it is said that Uchi is a temple. The conversation is not in mesh. I went to Koyasan Shingon sect after checking it up. Is there any place to look around? The statue of Fudo Myo? . I said, "I just worship." Yeah, it's already good. The story continues. It is said that it is a temple where you can go around 88 places like Shikoku. It seems that it takes about an hour and a half when all of them are turned. There seems to be no route map, and the end is in Kuguri-zaka. ! ..... As far as I hear, it seems to be a very large area. You may need a GPS logger to make a route map. There may be bears. Some measures need to be taken. If I'm free, I might take it next time. The scenery overlooking Asamushi is good. The stairs are very tight. It is fat killing. There was a vacant lot under the stairs where cars could be parked.

I think it is a place that can be a famous place for hydrangea in Aomori City.

This is the Mutsu Gokokuji Temple, Asamushi Koyasan, No. 18 Bansho, Tsugaru Koho Daishi Cemetery. It is a short walk from the Tsugaru Koyasan bus stop.

Late July 2021 Visited to visit 88 petit places. 6:53 am Enter the mountain from the mountain gate beside Route 4. Beautiful hydrangeas were in bloom on both sides of the 88 steps just behind the gate. If you walk along the side of the big main hall on your right, you will see dozens of red flags, and it's finally time to start the pilgrimage to 88 places. I didn't understand the course well and decided to go counterclockwise. 7:20 Observatory on the summit of Mt. Taniji? Arrival in. I was able to worship the scenery that exceeded my expectations. Here, have a cup of tea and take a short break. Mosquitoes and insects that seem to be blood-sucking are in the way, and they run and move on flat ground or downhill sections where there is likely to be a distance between Jizo. I managed to avoid being stabbed by hand-wiping the insects over and over again. 7:49 Arrived at the mountain gate. If you walk fast without stopping except for taking a picture of Jizo and taking a break at the mountaintop, it is a simple one-hour course for middle-aged men who do not usually exercise other than radio calisthenics. There are information boards at branches and places where you might make a mistake, so if you can read Japanese, you should be able to move without problems. The road was quite wide, and it seemed like three people could pass at the same time even in a narrow place. There are no obstacles on the mountain road and ordinary sneakers are fine, but since it is a decent mountain, I should have sprayed insect repellent and wore long sleeves and long pants. Also, on the way, I felt a sign of a fairly large creature, and I was scared if it was a bear, so I moved in a short run. You may want to bring a bear bell or a spray. In front of all Jizo, there was a white, cheap resin colander for offering money. I'm sure that managing this place is part of the training. There is a space beside the gate where 10 cars can be parked.
