Ryusenji - Tondabayashi

Studying history spreads in front of you. Here, I will stand in the same line of sight as Soga no Umako.

It is said that the building dates back to the Suiko dynasty and was built by Soga no Umako. There is a shrine that enshrines the water dragon at the place where Kobo Daishi also came. I live in Tondabayashi City, but I didn't know the details and I was able to know it for the first time. I was also able to receive a red stamp. It seemed that the maintenance of the precincts was not catching up, probably because the number of parishioners was decreasing. It seems that the seasonal flowers are beautiful, and I would like to come to the season when azaleas bloom once. The view to the east is good, and hiking is good in the warm season.

I visited in late September. There is free parking. The admission fee is 300 yen. Speaking of Ryusenji, it appeared in the Taiheiki period from the late Kamakura period to the North and South Korean era, so I was deeply moved by visiting for the first time. The temple was rebuilt after the war, except for Niomon. In addition, it seems to be a very venerable temple that also involves Soga Mako and Kukai. On the three islands of the garden, shrine, Bensaiten and Katen were enshrined, and they were fine, but it was a shame that weeds grew. I think it would be better if a little more management was done.

I worshiped on December 31st. Worship fee 300 yen Free parking is available. This is an old temple of the Shingon sect, which was founded by Maiko Soga in 595, the year of Emperor Suiko and was founded by Kobo Daishi. I felt a great energy.

It is a beautiful temple, but if the largest number of worshipers come, it will become the most beautiful temple. There are 3 roadside stations nearby, and there is also a Kanpo inn. A hot spring facility will be opened next year. A mandarin orange field is also nearby.

At the upper part of the hill area in Tondabayashi City (the scenic garden, Koyasan Shingonshu Ushitousan Ryusenji) is quietly reclining. Ryusen-ji Temple is a temple that Sokabako has been researched by Osho Emperor 2 years (595 years). According to the legend, there used to be an old pond here, and there was a bad dragon in it that damaged people. When Mako practices to save people, the evil dragon seems to have flew away without winning the power of Buddha law. Soon after, Bako built a temple here with Prince Tokuto, and it was said that she worked for the rise of Buddha law. From this time onwards during the Nara period, did not you complete the buildings and facilities such as the residences of the main hall, towers and monks? And research is in progress. The precinct is a location where you can enjoy the flowers of the four seasons. As for the admission fee, 300 yen.

A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect on the mountainside on the east side of the Sabi River. One of the oldest temples in Osaka prefecture, which was built in 594 by Prince Shotoku and Soga no Umako, the reigns of Empress Suiko. At the back of the precincts, there is also the Konku Shrine, which is described in the section of Ishikawa-gun, Kawachi Province, in the Enki-shiki Shinto shrine. There is a possibility that the area around Ishikawa-gun is the Soga clan's Bon-gwan area, and there is no doubt that the temple biography of Kaisan by Mako is not a groundless story, and that it is one of the oldest temples in the prefecture. The following is an excerpt of the historical writings in the precincts. Founded by Prince Shotoku and Soga no Umako in the 2nd year of Empress Suiko (594). An evil dragon lived in the pond in the precincts, and when the horse cast a curse, the dragon disappeared. After that, the water withered and was devastated in the vicinity, but when Kobo Daishi came in Konin 14 (823) and prayed for Kamochi, the dragon came back and the water became rich. Therefore, it is said that Benzaiten, Seiten, and Dakini were enshrined in the pond, and Gozu Tenno was the guardian. The deity of the Konku Shrine is Kamuyaimimi, the ancestor of Komuku no Agatanushi. The Kankoji burial mounds in Kanan Town date from the 4th to 7th centuries, and are thought to be related to the Konguchi Agatanushi. Is doubtful. As you can see in the historical guide in the precincts, it was originally Gozu Tenno as a guardian, and until the Edo period it was Gozu Tenno Shrine. Due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, Gozu Tenno Shrine was assigned to Konku Shrine of Shikinai Shrine, and the deity was changed to Kamuyaimimi. Then, there is a theory that the location of Konku Shrine was Kankoji Temple in Kanan Town. It is true that the temple name also comes from Komuku. However, although Kankoji remains as a place name, the temple is abolished and I do not know. Immediately south of this Kankoji Temple, there is a village called Kamiyama, and there is a Shikinai shrine called Kamonaraita Shrine, which enshrines Nigihayahi. It was designated as Kamonaraita Shrine. My personal guess is that the place where Kamonaraita Shrine was originally located was the place where Konku Jinja was originally located, given the name Kamiyama.
