Myotsuji Temple : Myotsuji Temple is located in eastern part of Obama City. The temple belongs to Shingon sect of Buddhism. It was established in 806 when Sakanoue Tamuramaro curved three bodies of statuesout of one single trunk of an oak tree. The purpose of placing those statues in this place was to appease the spirits of aristocracies of his time as well as his wish for the peace. Tamuramaro was a general served for Imperial court who was on the mission to subjugate barbarians. Those three statues ( very important cultural assets ) are kept in the main hall of the temple. The one on the center is the main object of worship called Yakushi Nyorai Statue believed to have healing power with his left hand holding a cup filled with elixer ( heals all kind of illness). The rooftop of the main hall and three-story pagoda are elaborately constructed with bark of Japanese cypress called Hinoki. A wooden tatue of Fudomyo-o of this temple is another very important cultural asset, but this one was moved to Haga Temple also located in Obama City in an event of fire occured in 20th century.Those impressive structures of the temple are built in 13th century. The three-story pagoda is a symbolic structure of this temple. After passing through a point where you pay 500 yen to make your entrance to the main part of the temple there is a long fllight of stone steps leading your way to the main hall. Once you arrived at the main hall you will be welcomed by a priest of Myotsuji offering a guide inside. There are 3 ponds in its precincts where you can see many impressively colorful brocade Koi ( carps ) swiming. You are allowed to feed food sold at the temple for 100 yen.

A beautiful, old little shrine surrounded by wooded hills.

マップルで三重塔があると書いてあったので寄ってみた。厳かの雰囲気のなかに歴史ある建物があり凛とした空気が漂う場所。アクセスも良い。心が落ち着くいい場所でした。

入館料が必要ですがとても立派な寺院でした。 池には立派な鯉が泳いでおり、エサやりも出来ます(100円) あまりに入れ食いなので気分が良くなり殿様になった気分です。 敷地内も広く色々見てまわれます。 奥の建物も風格があり圧巻でしたが、 入館料を払う建物の手前にあるお庭も素晴らしかったです。 青々とした時期ももちろんいいのですが、紅葉の時期などはさぞかし美しいでしょうね。

みょうつうじ 県内唯一の国宝だそうです かなり急な階段を登った先に立派な木造の塔があります。川の流れる音がずっと聞こえて良い雰囲気です

小浜市 棡山明通寺…806年坂上田村麻呂が「多年征戮するところの蝦夷の孤魂窮鬼」を救うことを祈願して創建された真言宗御室派の寺院。13世紀復興された本堂と三重塔が国宝になっている。海と都をつなぐ若狭の往来文化遺産群の構成文化財の一つ。

2020年08月に来訪しました 入場料500円です 無料で入れる部分で不動明王像が見れてさながら試し読みみたいな仕組みでいいなと思いました 有料部分では国宝がたくさん見れて,三重塔は圧巻です 解説も豊富で,知識を入れながら見れるので楽しいです 三重塔の近くの池にいる鯉はめちゃくちゃデカくて,歴史を感じます かなり満足度が高く,行くことをオススメできる良スポットです
