Ryozenji - Shizuoka

In Shimizu, I think it's better to say Mr. Kannon of Ouchi. At Shimizu Elementary School, I think that it is often the destination to go on foot excursions. (By the way, I was at Ejiri Elementary School, but I went on a walking excursion.) Although it is a temple on the mountain, there is a magnificent gate when you go up the stone steps, and there is a magnificent statue of Nio at the gate. I found out later that this gate was built in the Kamakura period and is an important cultural property of the country. The statue of Nio is also said to have been built during the Kamakura period. It's a wonderful cultural property, but I don't think it's well preserved. It feels like it's normally exposed to the wind and snow and hasn't been repaired. Since it is an important cultural property, it can be in the prefecture or the city, so I would like you to focus on preservation.

It is a temple of Shingon sect in Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka-shi. The mountain gate is designated as an important cultural property. Although it is a non-resident temple, it seems that the locals are in control. The road to the parking lot is narrow and the parking lot is narrow. From the parking lot you will reach the main hall on foot enough.

If you go a little further, you will reach the park. The old buildings are famous. There is also a hiking trail, so please come by all means. There is a Buddha statue at the big gate. You can see a beautiful view on the hiking trail.

2021/04/18 Important cultural property + flowers + birds + mountain climbing is a perfect score! I will introduce the part of Sacred Mountain Temple that you have not touched much in the word of mouth ♪ Admission fee: Free Parking: Free Toilet: Ryosenji parking lot (flush), next to the main hall (bio type) can be used 24 hours a day, both are clean (free) Climbing stick: There is a climbing stick for rent at the entrance of the stone steps that climb from the parking lot to the main hall (free of charge) Climbing course: Sacred Mountain Temple-Mt. Hokake (Ipponmatsu Park) -Mt. Kajiwara (Mt. Kajiwara Park) A clear straight road, well maintained. There are many view points and benches are installed. There are also quiz-style points that you can enjoy. When you reach the ridge, you can reach Mt. Hokake on the right and Mt. Kajiwara on the left in about 20 minutes. ★ State of this day ★ Climb the stone steps next to the grave from the parking lot. At this time when the fresh green is dazzling, the clustered butterflies welcome you in a lovely light purple ♪ It's like a museum ❤ Residents and students at the foot of the mountain happily maintain the steep slope leading to the main hall, for example, Birdhouse (see photo) "New construction During the sale, now it's 0 yen, recruiting tenants? " Is the property already filled? Hmmm? Is this a peacock decorated with Japanese pampas grass? Carefully flower and wood nameplates. A building with stones, seasonal flowers, and human hands every time you climb? Art work? It's really interesting to collaborate with. Climbing up to the vicinity of the magnificent old-fashioned mountain gate, the yellow-green buds of the trees, the azaleas in full bloom in red and white, and the brown color of the scabbard of the mountain gate match, making it look like a landscape painting. Furthermore, I am honestly surprised that the distance between people and birds is close, such as the fact that there are several bird feeding stands in the main hall and the parus rides on them! Sunflower seeds that feed birds are also placed and can be given freely. A bell on the feeding table made of PET bottles hung from the ceiling, "Dine and dash welcome" lol! I never get tired of seeing the parus reciprocating with a chirping sound ❤ It's a temple without a priest, and it's loved and supported by the people at the foot of the mountain. Isn't it strange to pay as a tourist temple if it's futu? But it's all free. .. .. Thank you, thank you. .. .. There is a scenic point and a bench on the mountain trail leading from the main hall to Mt. Hokake (Ipponmatsu Park) (see photo).

Passing through a forest full of caterpillars, a refreshing view and a majestic temple. I think it's about 1km along the way, but there are some differences in elevation, so clothes that are easy to move are good. It takes 20-30 minutes from here to the park.

You can easily walk from the parking lot in Ouchi, Shimizu-ku. I walk a lot from Sena, Aoi-ku. It is a temple that you can see on the mountain side if you take the down line by car from the direction of the Fuji River. The green roof is eye-catching. It's warm because it's open to the south. The scenery is also good. On the road from Ouchi, the stone steps on the slope are wonderful. I feel the hardships and ingenuity of the people who made it. The Niomon is also amazing.

Yamadera seen from the Shinkansen and the Tomei Expressway The mountain side, a minute or two past the Fuji River, From the Shinkansen, the roof of the temple looks green. This Ryosen-ji Temple has a history from the Muromachi period, and the Sanmon is designated as an Important Cultural Property. The floors and pillars exposed to the sea breeze were dry and tattered. There was a graveyard at the entrance of the mountain road (sando). All the grave inscriptions were Kimoto's surname. It may not be unusual in the countryside.

It is an old temple from the Kamakura period. I hope you go hiking! If you climb from here to Ipponmatsu Park, you can meet the best scenery. I got a red stamp at a private house on the way. It was a style I had never experienced before, but it was also good!
