Shukoji - Toyota

It is a quiet and nice temple.

There is a graveyard of Watanabe Moritsuna, a vassal of Ieyasu Tokugawa. I liked sake during my lifetime, so it's shaped like a box. In his later years, a great man who worked as an elder of the Owari Tokugawa family is sleeping.

It is a quiet and atmospheric temple.

Bodeji Temple of Watanabe Family From the stone pillar to the mountain gate, I climbed a gentle hill that was a little longer, but the way was green. The bell tower was a wooden building, the second floor of which was a room with a bell inside. The main hall was a large and magnificent building.

It is a temple of the Shinshu Otani school and the mountain number is Mt. Watanabe. It is the family temple of Mr. Watanabe, the chief of the Owari clan and the lord of Terabe Castle. Behind the main hall is the Watanabe family's graveyard.

To be honest, I didn't know Watanabe Morunatsu and didn't expect much, but it was a very elegant atmosphere, and it was a nostalgic space some time ago. Moritsuna Watanabe is one of the sixteen Tokugawa generals and is said to be a senior citizen of the Owari clan. The precincts are in an old village-like atmosphere where Nagayamon remains, and the hydrangea blooming along the approach to the mountain gate looks good. The grass is deeply overgrown and the atmosphere seems to be buried in the times. Various flowers bloom in the precincts, it is a Japanese style English garden (?). It is Jodo Shinshu, so I wondered if there was a red stamp, but it was a little unreasonable to break this tranquility.

I didn't like it. You should never go! The cherry blossoms in this temple were magnificent, so I wanted to take a picture with my child. From April this year, I will be entering the children's garden right next to this temple. The entrance back was trampled by a child who seems to be related to the temple. It's the worst. There was also a parent of the child who had trampled on it. I said, "Oh, I'm sorry." I've been stepping on it when I'm about 3 years old, so I'm wondering if there's anything I can do about it. But you're a parent ? I don't have that attitude!
