Yakushiji - Ushiku

Despite being near Ushiku Station, there was a lot of greenery in the precincts.

It is a big temple. I didn't know the denomination.

March 31 Cherry blossoms were in bloom.

In this area, you can see the sign of the venerable temple near the Tamiya intersection on Route 6 and enter from the surface and the narrow alley facing Sushiro. The parking lot is a front and back side, a site enough to stop, a calm temple.

The entrance is on Line 6, but the main hall is located far away, so it's a very quiet and calm place away from the front of the station and the noise of cars. There is a vending machine and a bench for resting, so when the baby is taking a walk, I am hanging around while visiting. There is also a wonderful bell.

It is a family temple. It is close to Ushiku station and easy to reach by car. It is a historical temple, and there is also Kashima Shrine in the precincts. It seems that the red stamp is not done now.

Visited 2022/01/02) It is a local temple. I came to the first visit.

It is a temple of the Shingon sect Toyoyama school in Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture. It's also a family temple, but I used to have a kindergarten, and I'm a graduate student there, so I'm deeply moved when I come to this temple. The children were also put into the main hall to work. Of course, as the name implies, the principal image is Yakushi Nyorai. Kaisan is an ancient temple that is said to have been written by Kazuhisa Tokuichi, a famous priest of the Heian period, in the 7th year of Konin (816). During the Warring States period, the lord of Ushiku, Kunishige Yura, gathered the faith of neighboring farmers as one of the seven Hitachi Kannon Hachiyakushi erected to mourn the spirit of the predecessor, Okami, who was destroyed in the battle in this region. It seems to be. However, since the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, it has been uninhabited and has been devastated for more than 100 years, but since the middle of the Showa era, it has been reconstructed and is revered as an "awakening pharmacist". Daishido, bell tower, main hall, Amidado, guest hall, warehouse, annex, Yakushi Kaikan building, Yakushi cemetery behind the precincts, and Rokujizo stone Buddha are erected in the mausoleum of peace. Bonsho was recast in 1996, and the bell tower was also rebuilt at that time. On the four sides of the bell tower, there are large stone statues of the four heavenly kings of Mochikokuten, Zhouchoten, Hirometen, and Tamonten (Bishamonten), which you can worship up close. Many stone Buddhas lined up along the approach, and among them was the statue of Shaka Nyorai, who was destroyed and restored during the Cultural Revolution and moved from China. There are no old buildings, but there are many historical and unusual stone Buddhas that are worth a visit. Please visit us. The parking lot is large, so you can visit by car.
