A magnificent temple with a large Niomon gate surrounded by a moat. Not only the temple but also the monument of the honorary monument of You Matsuoka, a diplomat (born around here), famous for the withdrawal of the prewar League of nations and the alliance of Japan, Germany and Italy, was quietly built behind the temple. Also, near the parking lot behind the temple, there was an entrance to the nature exploration trail of Mt. Emei. Next to the temple was a dry landscape garden called Sesshu Garden, but I could see it in a box for 100 yen. The security system is making a monitoring sound before entering this garden ...

It is a temple built in 1006, boasting a wide precincts protruding into the sea. The famous ones are the dry landscape gardens that Sesshu built, the splendid Niomon Nio, and when it was the headquarters of the cavalry of the Choshu domain, about 400 Choshu domain feudal retainers gathered. Sometimes. However, what impressed me personally was that there was a place like a moat in a part of the precinct, and the appearance of turtles crowding in a space like an artificially built floating island, and ... seen near the garden.

Every year May is a festival.

I stopped by while taking a walk nearby! The range is larger than that of ordinary temples, and in one part of the precincts of the temple, there was a dry landscape garden, which is said to have been made by Sesshu, and it was magnificent!

It is a temple of the Rinzai sect that enshrines "Bodhisattva of the sea". It was once the Tendai sect because it was built by the chief priest of Shoshazan Enkyoji Temple in Himeji. There is also a dry landscape garden (designated scenic spot by Yamaguchi Prefecture) made by Sesshu in the precincts. At the end of the Edo period, the headquarters of the South Cavalry Corps of the Choshu clan was set up, and more than 400 soldiers ended. It was a rainy day on weekdays, so there were few people, but the atmosphere was rather good.
