    Huangyeと Zhu Tuりの Bridge

    Original Text

    50 minutes by Otawara Municipal Bus from Nasushiobara Station. A temple of the Rinzai sect Myoshinji school built during the Daiji era (1126~ 1131). The principal image is Shakamuni Buddha. A warped bridge is built on the approach, and when you cross the bridge, the stone steps continue to the mountain gate. Unfortunately, it was raining, but the rain darkened the color of the yellow leaves of the tree 々 and the vermilion-painted railing, creating a beautiful scenery. The mountain gate was built in the Edo period and was roofed with wooden copper plates (tangible cultural property designated by the city). After passing through the mountain gate, the Buddhist hall is in front of you, and the Hojo is followed. Something special ...

    Unganji Temple / Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture [Temple] Matsuo Basho also visited plenty of old temples

    Original Text

    Higashiyama Unganji Temple is a temple located in Unganji Temple in Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture. The principal image was Shakamuni Buddha, which was founded by Kohokennichi in 1283, and converted to the Rinzai sect Myoshinji school in 1578. On October 7, 2021, we finished lunch with tonkatsu tonkun on this day. From there, I drove to Unganji Temple. The parking lot is very large. Sugi, 550 years old. It's a fairly wide precinct. 175 ...

    Zen Fourth Avenue Field の 1つ

    Original Text

    It is a temple of the Rinzai sect that Basho also visited and appears in "Okunohosodo". It was also used in the commercial of Sayuri Yoshinaga's JR East a few years ago. The ancient temple heading for winter is completely different from that of the autumn leaves season, and I felt that it emphasized the tense severity unique to Zen temples.

    Basho related place

    Original Text

    It became famous for the adult holiday club, but when I visited, there were few people and it was a nice atmosphere. Japan Zen sect 4 Daidoba's "Unganji" is the strongest power spot in Nasu! It seems that you should definitely go there. It is also a place related to Basho and the back road.

    It's a historic temple.

    Original Text

    Unganji Temple is called the Japan Fourth Avenue of the Zen sect, along with Shofukuji Temple in Chikuzen, Echizen Eiheiji Temple, and Kokokuji Temple in Kishu. It is a typical cathedral arrangement with the Shishioden lined up in a straight line. Haihai Matsuo Basho leaves the phrase "Kitakumo no hermitage does not break Natsuki Tachi" in this area. I have visited Unganji several times. I passed in front of Burbe, but I didn't have time, so I passed by. This time, Yuku ...
