    Original Text

    About a 3-minute walk from Yamadera Station, there is a huge rock and a small hall along the Tateya River. It is said that Jikaku Daishi met the head of Matagi, who ruled this area, and led to the opening of Tateishiji Temple.

    From the opposite bank of the river, you can see that it is a face-to-face rock. I hit a bell and touched the stone with my left hand, and made a wish. May you meet the good things.

    giant rocks.

    Original Text

    It is said that when Jikaku Daishi opened the mountain temple, he met Banzaburo Iwashi, a hunter who ruled the region, on this Oishi and sought a base to spread Buddhist pavements. It's at the foot of the bridge over the Tateya River, but when you head from the station, you cross the bridge and it's on your left, so you'll be overlooked.

    Giant rocks stand out from the bridge

    Original Text

    On the way from JR Yamadera Station to Yamadera (Tateishiji Temple), you can see it from the bridge over the Tateya River. If you look closely, you will see a heart mark in the center of the rock. There was an explanation board on the left side of the bridge, and it was written that Jikaku Daishi, the founder of Tateishiji Temple, opened the mountain temple and met the ruler of this region on Oishi. In front of the face stone is the face-to-face hall, where statues of Jikaku Daishi and the ruler (Iwashi Iwasaburo) are enshrined.

    It's a huge rock next to the dining room.

    Original Text

    As soon as you get off Yamadera Station and cross the bridge, you will find a huge rock. It stands out and easy to understand. This giant rock is called face-to-face stone. It is said that Jikaku Daishi met the hunter who ruled the land on this megalith when he opened the mountain temple and spread the Buddhist path.
