Nishi (Western) Honganji Temple of Yoshizaki

I felt that the history seemed to be deep at the place where I happened to stop by. I would like to come back again after studying more about history.

The Nikiriki Gate was reconstructed by moving the Toyotomi Hideyoshi donation gate in Kyoto. Suitable for the land of Yoshizaki. The stairs leading to Yoshizaki Gobo, where you can see scenic Lake Kitagata through Nishibetsuin, Higashibetsuin, and Gokeiji, are reminiscent of Onomichi, and the footsteps are light and fun.

Yoshizaki Betsuin of Jodo Shinshu Honganji (Nishi Honganji). The gate "Nenrikimon" seen from the front parking lot in the precinct is the gate from which the gate originally transferred to Honganji by Toyotomi Hideyoshi was transferred to this site. At the time of the relocation, it was named "Shinmonmon" because it was carried on foot by the power of the Nembutsu by the hundreds of Nembutsu service groups. In the precincts, there is a hall of the Renyu Jojin called "Chuso-do (Chouso-do)" to match "Hondou". This "Chongseongdo" was formerly called "Otamaya", and in the case of Yoshinari Yoshihito, Ryou-no-ha, it is reported that he was drawn as an apprentice with the hand of the upper man himself. ing. "Hondou" is a shrine made by Shiho. It is a four-sided shrine with 11 sides, which has been protected since the rebuilding in 1972. It is no exaggeration to say that the present form of “Jodo Shinshu” has been formed during the years in which Renji had been staying in this Yoshizaki land. After leaving Yoshito Yoshizaki, the teachings of Nembutsu have been protected with a life by the local community, despite encounters such as the catastrophe of Nembutsu in a large historical swell such as Ichimoku Ichigo. Even after Honganji divided east and west, even though there was a feud of East-West Honganji at the same time, it overcame it, and mainly the two separate houses, still the land of "Katami" of Renjuuejin is protected in this place and its teaching Are inherited. You can feel the weight and smell of the history that has been transmitted to protect Nembutsu and its teachings, which lasts from the era of the rebellion over 540 years ago to the present. By the way, in front of the main temple and Chumendo's “Okatami no Omagami”, I would like to remind the people of Renji as well as those who have been protected in this area, as well as have jealousy of them.

There may be no one. There is a treasure chest that you can enter for free, but the building is damaged due to the typhoon the other day.

Famous for threatening brides. It's a deserted Jodo Shinshu Buddhism now.
