Original Text

3 minutes walk from Matsuyama City Station. There is an entrance to Matsuyama Ginten-gai. A Shinshu Otani-ha temple built in 1649. Dou looks like an old private house, and a picture of a cat is sandwiched between the shoji doors. After the enforcement of the city system in Matsuyama, the city hall was first established, and a stone monument engraved as' Matsuyama city birth place 'was built in the precinct.

It was closed (> _ <)!

Original Text

It is a small temple located near the Matsuyama City Station side of Gintengai. Unfortunately, the gate was closed and I couldn't worship, but I could see the colorful playset and the stone monument that preached the concept of Gokuraku Jodo, the 7th Meigetsu Shonin, who is said to be a scholar priest. I saw it through the gate. When Matsuyama City was born due to the enforcement of the city system, it is also known as the place where the city hall was placed in the temple and the administration was executed.

Silence in the bustle

Original Text

It is a quiet space facing Gintian Street, which is crowded with people. It is an oasis of the hearts of locals (adults and children). It is good for those who want to touch "Matsuyama, which is not a tourist destination".

the precincts are like children's playgrounds.

Original Text

It is a temple facing Gintiangai. The precincts are not so large. It was lively because it was like a children's playground, probably because of the spring break.
