Myojoin - Joetsu

Locally, it is called Iwadenyama. The climbing road is a narrow and winding mountain road. Beware of big cars! Please visit Vairocana. The door won't open unless you make a reservation. There is a grave of Kenshin Uesugi on the back.

It was a short time, but I visited. (； _ ；) / ~~

The hometown of Suwa Daimyojin is in the village of Uesugi, and the Kenshin's tombs live together!

I looked at the beach in Naoetsu for the first time in a year. Is the wave around the summer solstice normal? I think it was a medium wave and the height was less than 1m, but it is powerful. The wave crest that lifted up vigorously is hit by the surface of the water, and it's Zabban! !! The sound of the duo is comfortable. A popping sound when you pull it after you come to the beach? (Is it just me?). There is also a 1 / F sway in the waves, right? (There may be differences in waves depending on the time of high tide or low tide, but I do not know because I have not touched the sea so much ...) Even though it's the first Monday of the week, there are a lot of young people surfing from the morning ... it looks fun. There were about 30 cars lined up, most of which were Nagaoka numbers, and a few of them were Nagano numbers. Apparently the height of the waves is also ideal? It seems like. (It's not a story that can be said to me as a round-cut amateur ...). Watching the surfers rubbed by the waves, I'm ready for the morning. I received Filet-O-Fish for the first time. Even when I left the beach, I drove while looking at the Sea of ​​Japan. Suddenly, a sign on the side of the road caught my eye! It is said to be the birthplace of Takeminakata, the principal idol of the famous "Suwa Shrine". Astonishingly, I was amazed and adventurous, and immediately entered the mountain road. It's a narrow gravel road and it's kind of dim, the left side is a cliff that you can't tell when it will collapse, and the slope will soon become steep, so is my front-wheel drive vehicle okay? It was like ... My car is fast ... I arrived at the parking lot about 800 meters away without difficulty. Four or five cars are likely to be parked beside the puffy road. Perhaps because I was fascinated by the sound of the waves of the Sea of ​​Japan on the coast, the tranquility in the mountains stimulates my nerves abnormally. Take a deep breath there. Somehow, I feel like I'm in a place far from the world I was in before ... It's a deep breath to calm down. The temple was hidden in the broad-leaved forest covered with fresh greenery and the deep coniferous valleys! It's close. Myojoin, a temple of the Tendai sect. Dainichi Nyorai is enshrined in the main hall, and when you climb the steep stone steps of the torii gate in the back, you will see Takeminakata Takeminakata, his father Okuninushi, and his mother Nunakawa Hime. There was a hall. (Gassho) The princess of Himekawa, who flows to Itoigawa on the east side of Mt. Shirouma and enters the Sea of ​​Japan, refers to this princess of Nunakawa. There is a sad legend, but I can't write it. Under the big rock in the back, there was a sign saying "Go through the womb ...", but I didn't feel like I could go around because it had collapsed. Around the main hall, there are many magnificent cedars (shinboku). Looking up, I also feel that my spine is stretched. And is it a magnolia tree? (I don't know because I'm not familiar with it, but there are wonderful hardwoods.) In the pond, frogs sing and the wind is flowing gently. Also, I don't know what happened, but I was surprised to find Kenshin Uesugi's grave (small size), which will surely be ranked 3rd or higher if you vote for the popularity of Sengoku warlords on TV. did. Anyway, the air was clear and I was glad I stopped by. (PS? I think there are many scenic spots called Mt. Iwatonosan. Is there a sign called [Iwato] here, and is it the name of Mt. Iwatonosan?)… Done.

There is such a wonderful place where Okuninushi and Princess Nunakawa got married and lived here and Suwa was born, so I want everyone to know more.

The admission fee for Vairocana, a national treasure, is 500 yen. The red stamp is stamped. The road was bad and people rarely visited, but I could see a mysterious aura light. Since it is the birthplace of Takeminakata's life, why not visit the production site of Princess Nunakawa in Nou?

This is the first national treasure Buddha statue in Niigata. In addition, Suwa Shrine, where the Iwaya born of Suwa Taisha Shrine is located, is also located in the precincts. The bones of Kenshin Uesugi are also enshrined.

It is a temple of the Tendai sect located up a narrow road in the mountains of Iwadono, and is known for having a statue of Dainichi Nyorai, an important national cultural property (formerly a national treasure). I gave up watching the Buddha statue. I am surprised at the history that Okuninushi and Princess Nunakawa got married in the mythical era, and there was a Iwaya where Takeminakata was born. I will. There is Suwa Shrine in Iwaya, and although it was pitch black, it was a place full of atmosphere. There was also Kobo's Suzuriiwa. It seems that Kenshin Uesugi was also devoted to the statue of Dainichi Nyorai, and there is also Kenshin's grave, but I gave up because I didn't know where it was, but it seems to be behind the main hall.
