The second time to go hiking to Kyoto, Hieizan Enryakuji Temple (although it is really Shiga).
Hike the mountain road comfortably and finally head to Mt. Hiei Enryakuji Temple and the East Pagoda.
The east tower is the most spectacular area of the three areas of Mt. Hiei.
Well, don't come here and talk about Enryakuji.
You will be in the state of "Ninnaji Houshi".
First of all, the east tower. Resurrected for the first time in 400 years since Nobunaga's burning.
Amidado. This is a dojo.
There are big buildings here and there on such a mountain.
People at that time would have been hard. Is this also a technique that religion can do?
You can see the inside well.
When I see the actual chanting of Nembutsu, I am deeply moved that he is still active.
Even though it is one area of Enryakuji, the east tower alone is large.
Ordinarily a religious theme park.
The temples will come out one after another.
It's hard just to see them all.
Was it here when I thought I could hear the sound of a bell?
Anyone can poke. Goon. ..
I'm grateful, but anyway, it's too much to understand.
The amount of money offered will decrease steadily.
Then, I was hungry at the dizzying hall and Buddha statue, so I went to the dining room.
Enryakuji specialty, Enryakuji soba. This is delicious!
Wild plants are slender.
By the way, I regained my mind and went to "Nemoto Nakado", the super main of Enryakuji Temple.
Naturally, it is a national treasure. Of course, Enryakuji itself is a World Heritage Site.
In other words, it is super important both globally and in Japan!
Enryakuji Temple, the founder of the Tendai sect, Saicho was the first temple to open.
It can be said that all of Japanese Buddhism started from here.
I can see the whole view.
It's a huge hall. In the old days, this alone would have been powerful enough.
stately. It's like a giant's house.
Konponchudo Corridor. Or rather, the outer frame.
Shooting is prohibited inside! !! But this is worth a look!
A slightly masculine hall that seems to appear in "Last Samurai".
And somehow big.
Stone steps are here and there. This will give you physical strength.
There are many landscapes where mountains and temples are assimilated.
Sanmon. You can go up to the second floor here.
There are also stone monuments here and there. It's a place where Honen was enlightened when he went over there.
There is also Ki no Tsurayuki's grave, and it's already a theme park.
I'm tired. After all it is Eizan Electric Railway on the way back.
I went back in time to Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei for about 1000 years, and then went back in time to Showa at Yase Station.
The present age is still far away.
