    A very large temple in the building

    Original Text

    Amanojaku, which is said to support the main hall in four corners, is easy to find with binoculars. Heisei ~ Repair was carried out during Reiwa, and the construction for 23 years ended three years ago and was designated as a national treasure, but there is a huge candle in the main hall, and the Shoin is divided into many rooms. , I am overwhelmed by its size. It is a 6-7 minute walk from the JR Himi Line station, and it is convenient that the station also has a parking lot for worshipers.

    Big buildings, big candles, but the monkey carvings supporting the roof were small.

    A large temple at the site of the Echigo government office in Fushiki. I parked my car in the tourist parking lot (free of charge) next to Fushiki Station and climbed the slope for about 5 minutes ~10 minutes to reach the main gate. There was a meteorological observatory museum in the middle of the slope, so I decided to see it on my way home. It is said that it is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu sect that has become a huge building because it has a deep relationship with the Maeda family, the Takatsuka family, and Nishi Honganji Temple (certainly, if you look at the city of Fushiki from a distance, you can see it immediately because it is huge). Maybe it was during a special exhibition event, but a volunteer guide? ...

    A temple of the ecchu Ikko sect revived as a national treasure

    Original Text

    It is a huge temple in the Fushiki district of Takaoka City. It was built by Honganji Rennyo Shonin during the Muromachi period and was the core of the Etchu Ikko Ikki during the Warring States period. The current temple was built by the Kaga Maeda family during the Edo period, and it has been restored since 1998 and is registered as a national treasure. The approach continues from Fushiki Station on the Himi Line, so you can get off Fushiki Station and follow the slope west from the station. The main hall and the hall are registered as national treasures, but other buildings are also important culture ...

    It was said that the Heisei major repair was carried out over 20 years. The temple group is a magnificent temple building composed of 12 national important cultural properties. I was overwhelmed by the weight of history.

    A magnificent temple representing Toyama

    Original Text

    Visited in late March. If you pass through the magnificent main gate, you will find the Karamon gate, which is also decorated with gold. This was handed over from Koshoji Temple in the south of Nishi Honganji Temple in Kyoto during the Edo period. And there is a very large national treasure main hall. In addition, there are many important cultural properties such as the hall, Shoin, Kyodo, Goreiya, Kodo, Hozo, and Somon. It seems that the pain of the building was quite intense, and it took more than 20 years from 1998 to repair, so you can see a very nice building ...
