Nyohoji Temple

中原悟 2 months ago

Arrived at Nyoho-ji Temple after visiting Nanaka-do Temple I had talked about buying one or two onigiri on my way home from a rice ball shop that has a good reputation for being delicious, but by the time I got home there was a long line, so I gave up. (^^; I lined up at the end of the line to pray. It was about 100 meters away, but I waited and prayed. I also watched the festival. Masaru was selling it, but I tried it for the first time. It is said to be a common lucky charm here. A string is tied to both ends of the bent bamboo to resemble a bow, and a clay bell with the word ``Fuku'' written on it is hung from the string. When you shake it, the earthen bell will fall down the string making a rattling sound. According to Mr. M's explanation, it means ``Better than last year, better luck'', but it is also used as a slogan to ``eliminate evil spirits''. It seems that he picks up the one that falls beautifully and decides which one to use. (^^; It seems that the main time is at night because they come to burn the things they have taken down from the altar after they have eaten dinner. I will be visiting again in 2024. I arrived at Nyohoji Temple by bicycle. Preparations have begun for the store opening. I arrived earlier than planned. I feel like the number of worshipers is coming soon. Nanakado Mairi is a festival dedicated to Bato Kanzeon at Nyohoji Temple, which is held from January 6th to 7th every year. Originally a market where people exchanged goods from the sea and the mountains, the market has changed into a market that is now used to sell lucky charms such as ``daruma'', ``masaru'', and ``dango sashi'' dumpling trees. It is now becoming the first market to sell products. ``Masaru'' means better than last year, and daruma is a lucky charm that means seven falls and eight rises. Around 100,000 people are busy inside and outside the shrine grounds all day long, with people buying lucky charms after their pilgrimage. This Bato Kanzeon Bodhisattva was given to Choja Toramaru by the Emperor Heijo in the second year of Daido (807), and was regarded as the guardian Buddha of the local residents. It is said that the various wishes of the pilgrims will come true as quickly as a horse runs, and in recent years many people have come to pray for things such as a rich harvest, happiness for all people, and in recent years, traffic safety and success in passing exams.The street in front of the gate has become a pedestrian paradise, and there are more people than ever. It is crowded with people.

On January 7th, I was invited by the flow of people and stopped by. We also rang the bronze bell. There are some unnatural parts because I erased the positive person with an eraser.

Mt. Takatake Nyoho-ji Temple is located in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. It is a temple with a large site in the middle of the city near Koriyama Station. I looked into what kind of temple it is. The mountain name is Mt. Takatake, the temple name is Nyoho-ji Temple, and the sect is The Toyoyama school of the Shingon sect, whose principal image is Dainichi Nyorai, has Hasedera Temple (Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture) as its main temple. It has been located on the central hill of Koriyama since ancient times, and the 10,000 tsubo precincts preserve the majestic buildings of Shichidokara, as well as old tiles from the Heian period, old monuments from the Kamakura period, and monuments of the pioneers of the Meiji period. , is a historic temple that has been around for over 1,000 years. The origin of this temple dates back to the second year of Daido (807 A.D.), when Toramaru Choja, who ruled this area, went all the way to Kyoto to have an audience with the then emperor, Emperor Heijo. It all began with the gift given to us as a gift. The choja built a Kannon-do hall at its current location as a guardian deity, built a hermitage in present-day Nakamachi, Koriyama City, invited Sasakune Shonin, who was highly virtuous, to perform a solemn eye-opening memorial service, and gave alms to the masses. It is said that the priest enshrined the principal image of Dainichi Nyorai, moved his hermitage to the Kannon-do precincts, called it "Nyohoji" and protected and dedicated Kannon.

It's about a 15-minute walk from Koriyama Station, and it has a stone hat pagoda and a stone pagoda that are designated as important cultural properties of the country (this website and signboards call it a "national treasure"). However, it is a so-called "former national treasure"). These are displayed in the National Treasure Hall along with the bronze bell (wartless bell), which is an important art object. The stone capstone pagoda was damaged in the 2021 earthquake off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture and is currently under restoration, so only the base is on display at the National Treasure Hall. There isn't much to see in the buildings, as all of the temple except for the Niomon gate was destroyed by fire during the Boshin War. Although the main hall is impressive, it seems to be open to the public only during events. Although it is an important cultural property, it is not something that everyone can see and enjoy, but if you have the time, it is worth seeing.
