Namikirifudoin

terraced temple like kiyomizu dera in kyoto but on smaller scale. deserted visit. free. worth the train to naruto. short walk. Namikiri Fudo-in Temple

It is a very photogenic temple in Sanmu City, where there are not many tourist resources. Even before entering the mountain gate, you can see the bright crimson turret and the main hall built on it. Place your car in the parking lot and climb a small mountain about 30 meters high. The main hall makes you feel the freshness that has been recently painted even if you look closely. The view is good, but the corridor around the hall is only surrounded by a parapet that is about below the waist of most adults. If you are staggered or dizzy, you are sure to fall, and even if you remember, my legs are stuffy even if I remember that I am afraid of heights. Serious story, you should be careful. It seems that Gyoki carved a statue of Fudoson to prevent marine accidents during the Tenpyo era (729-749), and Kobo Daishi moved it to the temple to build a temple, but unfortunately it is a "legend" that pulled out a common big name. I have to think that. It is said that the building tag of the main hall was found in 1618, so it is highly credible that it was in the early Edo period. According to the bulletin board in the precincts, in the latter half of the Meiji era, a mineral spring was discovered in the adjacent land, and the inn "Narutokan" was built, and it became famous as a resort. It is said that Tosui Nakarai (a famous writer whom Ichiyo Higuchi fell in love with) was also a supporter. It is a little hard to imagine from the current loneliness of Naruto, as scribes such as Koyo Ozaki, Shusei Tokuda, Kido Okamoto, and Kyoka Izumi also visited the spa.

バス旅陣取りでスポットとして出ていた事と房総半島のパワースポットの一つと言う事で行ってみました。 国道126号を東金から成東方面へ進み作田川の手前に看板が出ている横通りへ左折すると目の前にすぐ見えます。 駐車場が解りにくいのですが、朱色の正門の左脇から境内へ車で入れます。 数台分ですが駐車スペースがありました。 車から降りて、不動院の正面の階段を登ります。コンクリートで舗装し手摺りもあるので軽装てサクッと登れました。 山武を一望。 不動院の建屋を一周。 奥に不動様の小さな社と石塚の森と言う自然林の説明がありました。 寺務所は正門の左奥にあり呼び鈴を押すと親切に対応して頂けました。

it's beautiful.

The scenery is unobstructed and worth a visit! !! The climbing stairs may be a little tight, but please do your best for a superb view.
