    Awalu Four Countries 88 ヶ The First Place, Awalu West Country 33 ヵ The First Place, Awalu Island 13 Place The First Place とのことです

    Original Text

    It is a special head temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, and it is the first sacred place in 88 places in Awaji Shikoku, the first sacred place in 33 places in Awaji Saigoku, and the first sacred place in Awaji Island. It is thought to be the best temple in Awaji Island as you can see from the fudasho of 1. It's a very spectacular temple, but it's not very touristy, it's difficult to pass each other on the way to approach, and there is no parking lot at the top of the mountain. You can only park a few cars at a slightly swelling point at the end of the dead end road. From the precincts down the mountain road ...

    the old temple on the top of the mountain is cute.

    30 minutes drive from Sumoto city to Senzan. You can go near the top. The stone steps on the approach are quite hard, but from the observatory in front of the main hall, you can see Mt. Kashiwabara from a distance and feel good. The five-storied pagoda in the precincts will be restored by Kahei Takataya. The wild boar guardian dog is cute due to the auspiciousness created by a hunter who chased wild boar. The fresh green season is recommended.

    It's a temple on the mountain, but there's no parking lot.

    Original Text

    You had to drive to the shrine on the top of the mountain, but there was no parking lot. There was a place with a little wide road at the end of the dead end mountain road, and I parked my car there. From there, you can climb the stone steps reasonably. The temple and wild boar are related and there is often a "nobody's eye", but the guardian dog was a wild boar and there was a stone statue. It's good because there aren't many people worshiping, but if the parking lot is complete, I would like to improve the evaluation a little.

    Iwato Jinja shrine

    Original Text

    I drove around noon on Saturday. The road to get there is narrow and it is for one car. I'm sorry, but I came for Iwato Shrine rather than Senkoji. First of all, I visited Senkoji Temple, but there was a smoking area with a superb view on the way. I wonder if it is one of the best smoking areas in Japan. It's just hikers 々 rather than visiting. There was a guardian dog () like a buck in the temple. The road to Iwato Shrine is not maintained at Iwato, and it is very difficult to walk ...
