The oldest Buddha of Japan is enshrined.

Original Text

I stopped by here a little off the Yahiko Skyline. I stopped by without prior information, but the oldest Sokushin Buddha among the only dozens of Sokushin Buddhas in Japan is enshrined. It's a quiet temple in the mountains, but I think it's a good place to visit once, including historic buildings.

The immortal Buddha of Kochi hoin

It is located near Teradomari fishing port, a little far from Nagaoka city. It is along National Highway ４０２, but it is quite a car up. The site is very large, and it is free if you only visit the treasure hall where you can see letters by Kiyomasa Kato, Kakuei Tanaka, mummy of the thunder beast, etc. However, the highlight here is the immediacy Buddha of Hirochi Hoin. Admission fee ５００ It is worth paying yen. For the visitor, the chief priest took the trouble to give the sutra and worship the Hoin. ... in front of the hall where Hoin is.

Japan's oldest (Kamakura era) の is the body

Original Text

Located in Teradomari. It is less than 20 minutes by car from the side of the fish candy. There is a large parking lot. First go to the reception. It takes 500 yen (it seems that it is a charity) to see the Immediate Buddha. I had a little time to see, so I went to the treasure hall first. A wooden statue of Hirochi Hoin and a mummy of a thunder beast are on display. X-ray photographs of Sokushinbutsu are also on display. This was cooperated by the professor of radiation at Niigata University at that time ...

When asked who the Lord of iwasaka was, he wrote it in a ink painting and the sound of Matsukaze

Original Text

The word of mouth title is the phrase of the death of Hirochi Hoin. Iwasaka is the place name of Okunoin after Hirochi Hoin practiced. Since the childhood name of Hirochi Hoin is Otomatsu, I think the sound of Matsukaze is directly about me, but it seems that the meaning of various lines is impermanent. After all, it is a Buddha of the Kamakura period. In addition to the Simbutsu, there are also tourist resources such as an observatory with a view of the sea and a large ginkgo tree.
