    It is a temple of the Shingon sect Toyoyama school, but if you walk around the precincts, you can meet buildings with Chinese style, Southeast アジア style appearance here and there.

    Like the adjacent [Sayamayama Fudoji Temple], it is a temple that is very interested in building appreciation ファン. Although it is a temple of the Shingon sect Toyoyama school, the [Shichifukujindo] on the left side of the [Main Hall] is very different from the temples in Japan, which have a general appearance, but it was built in China. In addition, the [Five-storied Pagoda] behind it is said to imitate the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in China, so it is not a general square but an octagonal. In addition, as a building in the precincts, デザイン, which you can see in Southeast アジア, is the eye ...

    It was behind MetLife Seibu Stadium. It is said to be a temple of the Shingon sect that Kobo Daishi opened. The stairs and slopes to the vermilion five-storied pagoda are steep, so you may want to climb by car. There is also a parking lot beside the five-storied tower.

    This temple is a temple of the Shingon sect Toyoyama school, and its official name is "Kinjoin". The principal image enshrined here is "Senju Kannon" and is said to be a designated cultural property of the city. It seems that the book will be opened once every 33 years. Next to the main shrine, there is a flashy building. It looks like a Chinese temple, isn't it? It is said that it is Kaisando and Shichifukujindo. From here, if you look toward the small hill, you will see a building like a large tower. It is a five-storied pagoda. Thousands of small Buddha statues are lined up in the precincts. ...

    A temple near Seibu Stadium Mae Station and Seibu Dome. It has been known as a sacred place for Kannon faith since ancient times, and the principal image is Senju Kannon and is also called Yamaguchi Kannon. If you stop by the temple legend, it is said that it was founded by Gyoki, a monk from the Nara period, and it is a historic temple that has been founded for more than 1200 years. I never knew that such a historic temple was nearby around the bustling Seibu Dome. From the road in front of Seibu Dome, just the same intersection as the parking lot entrance of Seibu Dome ...

    I stopped by because I saw a brightly colored five-storied pagoda. The five-storied pagoda is on the back side. The front is about 10m down the stairs. Both have large free parking lots. If you are not good at stairs, you should move by car. There are gods from Asian countries. Buddha is a place where the expression of Buddhist theme park seems to fit in.
