This place used to be the site of a powerful clan’s city that ruled the area. Now, it is a beautiful garden. If you ask the guide at the entrance, they will enthusiastically explain the history. However, they don’t answer many questions, so if you want to know more details, you’ll need to research...

Worth the visit.

Make sure you stop by to get shaved ice, both strawberry and matcha flavors were great. The walk around the lake was full of ruins of the former buildings that were destroyed by fire.

The street leading to the station were lined with beautiful homes. They...

今は、だだっ広い池のある庭園、 という印象ですが…。

造られた当時は、 宇治の平等院に勝るとも劣らない、 優雅な王朝風の庭園だったんだろうなぁ(⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠)⁠♥

と、往時が偲ばれます。

芭蕉の、

夏草や つわものどもが 夢の跡

という、あの名句を詠んだ碑が ありますので、 要チェック☺️

ちなみに、 芭蕉の真筆といわれる石碑は、 左側の小さいほうです。 (字、ほぼ読めませんでした😰)

ここに立って、 庭と池を眺めているだけでも、 江戸時代の俳聖と同じ感慨に、 とらわれてしまいます🥲

浄土を目指した、 美しく、優美な庭園が在ったのに。

幾度もの戦火、焼失に見舞われ、 その度に多くの命がうしなわれ…

今はただ、その悲惨さを知らない、 穏やかな夏草が、風に揺れているだけ。

鑓水と呼ばれる、 曲がりくねった小川、 人工水路も見つかり、 昔のように、水が流されていました。

その昔、盃を上から流して、 自分に辿り着く前に一首詠む、 都風の、雅な遊び😍 そう、あの曲水の宴、が行われた場所。

奈良県以外で、 平安期の鑓水が残るのは、 毛越寺のここだけ、だそうです。

訪れた時は、 ほんのり色づき始めた紅葉が美しく、 雨のなか、風情がありました。

大きな木立の池沿いの道も、 なんとなく英国風で (ポアロのTVドラマシーンにある様な)、 馬に乗った人が通りそうな😊、 素敵な場所です。

ここもそうですが、 平泉時代の美しい建物、庭園が、 金色堂以外、ほとんど焼失してしまう なんて…😭残酷な運命です。

もし、残っていれば、 現在は、東北の京都と呼ばれ、 人々を楽しませ、 大いに賑わったに違いないのに。

それを思うと、私まで悲しくなり、 本...

今までいろんな寺院や庭園を見てきたが、平泉の浄土思想に基づいて形成された庭園は雰囲気がまるで違った。写真では表せられない美しさがここにはあり、気持ち良く庭内を探索できました。入場料金は800円。駐車場、駐輪場あり。平泉は自転車で周ると高率よく色々と周れます(駅前に自転車レンタル屋あり)。 One of the main attraction in UNESCO World Heritage, Hiraizumi. This beautiful garden captures the representation of Buddhist Pure Land, temples and archaeological sites from the 12th centuries. Got to see some end of the fall season changing colors.
