Kyorinbo Temple

exciting place

A place related to the Taiga drama [Kirin ga Kuru], near Azuchi Castle. The beautiful garden and brightly colored autumn leaves 🍁 shine well in the cloudy sky. With the warmth of the last few days, the coloring is slowly progressing. At Kyorinbo, the most colored leaves are the bright, deep red leaves. The one I saw in the foreground is the thatched-roof shoin. Forgetting the time, slowly and forever. It's a scene that makes you want to see it. It is said that this Kyorinbo was built about 1.400 years ago in the Asuka period. It is said that the autumn leaves have been beautiful since its foundation. The autumn leaves here have a big feature. It is the height of the trees. Is long. There is a reason for that. Actually, from the end of the Showa era to the beginning of the Heisei era, there was no priest and it was a rough temple that was left unattended for a long time. I went in quite deeply. Surrounded by bamboo, the autumn leaves are not exposed to sunlight. Therefore, the autumn leaves extended their branches upward in search of the sun so as not to lose to the bamboo. As a result, such a tall tree It has become autumnal trees. Looking up from the ground, it looks as if there is an autumnal roof in a high place. You can also enjoy the feeling that the entire precincts are completely wrapped in autumn leaves. The reason why Kyorinbo, which used to be a rough temple, was restored to its present form is because of the autumn colors. When the current chief priest came to this temple for the first time when it was a rough temple, the sun The light of the temple was very beautiful through the leaves of the autumn leaves and illuminated the precincts. At that time, this is the world of Buddha. I think it is my mission to revive this. It was annoying to work on the reconstruction ... !!!. The chief priest [Mitsunobu Hirobe] who was helped by the reconstruction. There was a great deal of difficulty in the reconstruction of the temple. For example, [Main Hall], the roof was also damaged considerably, and there were leaks here and there. The priest took many years alone to repair it little by little and regained its former taste. It was. Now it is wrapped in tall autumn leaves. In addition, Kyorinbo has a view that becomes more and more beautiful from here. A lush and mossy garden. Autumn leaves that have fallen on the moss. Already, red and yellow autumn leaves have begun to fall. If you look at the thick moss, you can see that it has been carefully protected for many years. The autumn leaves around this garden will be colored more and more. ¡After a while, it will be covered with bright red autumn leaves on this bright green moss …… !!!. Worth a look 🍁🍂🍁 ... Depending on the priest, many people visit on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays and the precincts are crowded, so if possible, I would like to ask you to see [weekdays] to avoid [dense]. 🙏. #Autumn leaves #Autumn leaves hunting

It will be released twice a year. There is a simple toilet in the parking lot. From the parking lot Quantile Climb the slope through a private house. Shiga prefecture where many rainbows occur If you are lucky, you can see the rainbow and the shining autumn leaves. I will go around and see the garden. What glitters on the thatched roof It seems that the shell of abalone is the sense of the builder.

It was from 9:30, so I asked to arrive at that time. There were quite a few cars coming and there was a person guiding the parking lot. The road is narrow so I contacted him and let me pass. It was a little slope as I walked toward the mountain. Gradually, the autumn leaves are starting to look beautiful. Bamboo and autumn leaves 🍁 is a wonderful garden. There is a temple that Prince Shotoku started, and I felt the history. It was written on a piece of paper that was once a ruined temple, but was rebuilt as a priest. I thought it was because of the people nearby that it was so beautiful and enjoyed by many people. People see only the good points, but I feel that I am grateful for today because of such efforts.

I went to see the autumn leaves lit up. When you first see the bamboo grove lit up, the garden has different heights, and if you look around the autumn leaves along the route, you will reach the main hall. Many Buddhist statues in the main hall and various statues in the hall were lit up brightly, which made me feel solemn.
