A significant Nichiren Buddhist temple located on the western slopes of Kumamoto City. Established in 1585 by the renowned samurai lord Katō Kiyomasa to honor his father, the temple was initially built in Osaka and later relocated to Kumamoto Castle grounds. Following Kiyomasa’s death in 1611, the temple was moved to its current location in 1614, adjacent to his grave site.

A beautiful and peaceful place. There are over 170 steps up to the temple, but there are lots to enjoy on the way up. A perfect way to start my morning.

お守りなどの販売をしている男性の人の接客が悪かったです。携帯をいじり、その邪魔をしたからこんな対応されたのかなと思ってしまいます。 御朱印を頂けますかと聞き、答えが遅く、一瞬無視されているのかと思ってしまいました。 結局その時は宮司さんが不在のため頂きませんでした。 お寺も階段も綺麗でした。 The person selling the charms was not friendly. When we asked him if we could receive the temple's stamp we thought that he had ignored us seeing how long it took him to answer. Unfortunately the priest wasn't there so we just left. The temple and the stairs were nice.

I have been in Japan for a long time, so temples and shrines don't seem that unique anymore, but the Honmyoji temple complex is really nice. You can really get a feel for traditional Japanese...

幼い頃の思い出たどる旅、今は亡き母に連れられてお参りした、加藤清正公の菩提寺である法華経の名刹、本妙寺、清正公さん参りとかつて賑わいをしのばせる面影が此処彼処にかいま見られた。 膨大な敷地、長い参道や境内、細川家のお墓がまつられている本妙寺、清正公のお墓の高さは清正公が建立したと伝えられる熊本城が遠く聳えたって、熊本市街を一望できる。 境内の石段をゆっくりとした足取りで登っていたら、お坊様が教えてくれた。熊本城の高さと同じ高さに祀られているという。本妙寺中央に祀られている清正公様の厨子。是非一度、ご自分の足で確かめられ礼拝なさったらどうでしょうか? きっと、自分を振り返えることができ、よき示唆がえられるに違いありません。 今日は、天命を全うして天国へ旅たった信仰篤き慈愛深い敬愛の母を偲ぶことができました。また、さらに嬉しいことはあまり信仰心に篤くない主人がお参りできたこと、とてもうれしくありがたく、心に止めておきたい感謝の一日となりました。改めて自分が歩んできた道を見つめ直す良き機会を頂いたき気がいたします。 今年は、今までよりも、より一層より真剣により具体的に取り組みより真摯に生きてみようと思います。 覚悟を新たにして。 今年もどうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます。是非皆様も、宗派に関係なくcovidを鎮圧することができる エネルギーのスポットとしても、お参りなさる...
