This is Okunoin of Kongoshoji Temple. The official name seems to be "Katsuminezan Donkaiin". It is located at the end of Kongoshoji Temple, passing through the Gokuraku Gate, which is said to be ``all those who pass through this gate will be reborn in the Pure Land,'' and passing through the approach lined with sotoba. In the Ise region, there is a custom called ``take mairi'' where a pagoda is built here and a memorial service is held for the deceased. For this reason, there are quite a number of sotoba standing along the approach to the shrine. The principal image is Enmeiko Anjizo Bodhisattva. The price of the pagoda was written on the temple grounds. There is also a tea shop called Fujimidai, where you can also enjoy light meals. There are vending machines and binoculars. If you're lucky, you can see Mt. Fuji.

The path from the Gokurakumon Gate was lined with tall pagodas, and was disconnected from everyday life. (It seems to be a memorial forest for Sotoba, and the price for one tree starts from 30,000 yen, with the largest one costing 500,000 yen, as explained in the Okunoin temple.)

A temple on top of a mountain. The road lined with sotoba Continue to Okunoin. Amazing. However, you can only go there by using the Ise-Shima Skyline. (Fee: 1,270 yen. Only cash is accepted) Enjoy the observation deck 🙆

This is the inner temple of Kongoshoji Temple. As you pass through the gate called Gokurakumon, you will see sotoba lined up on both sides of the road, resembling a wall. In the Ise-Shima region, it is believed that ``the soul of the deceased ascends to Mt. Asakuma,'' and after the funeral, people of all denominations visit Okunoin and erect a sotoba and offer a memorial service. Walking among the sotoba of various sizes gives a very solemn feeling. If you go all the way to the back, you will find a temple where you can pray. There is a shop on the right side of the hall, and I think the view from this shop is the best in Okunoin.
