Kochidani Amidaji Temple is located in northern part of Ohara. The temple belongs to Jodo sect of Buddhism and it was established in 1609 by a high ranked priest Saint Danzei. Its Sango ( mountain name ) is Komyzan. Sango is a title prefixed to the name of a Buddhist temple. The main object of worship in this temple is a wooden statue of Amida Nyorai placed in its main hall. The temple is known for its history of Danzei mummified himself in a stone cave and had his disciples closed the opening. It was the final stage of ascetic training of Danzei. It once was a Buddhist practice of austerity to bring oneself to the point of death into mummification. Before he went into the cave he resinified physical components of his body. In the cave he placed himself into a stone coffin to preserve himself as a statue of Buddha. Danzei's body is stored in a temple hall in which visitors can access to the front part of the stone cave. Next to the treasure hall is a room where items of historical value such as Buddhist outfits and Danzei's hand-written scrolls are exhibited. There are over 300 trees of Japanese maple ( momiji ) planted around the temple ground which would turn color all together in mid November. Admission is 500 yen for adults. There are 2 parking areas. The one up on the hill only has a space for 3 cars. The temple is built in a very high position up on a mountain with a long uphill approach to the main ground. Along the long hill are beautiful natural surroundings with mossy ground and maple trees. There is a large old tree aged over 800 years right before you reach the temple ground.

Un temple niché sur les hauteurs de KyÎto, dans la zone d'Ohara. Il peut paraître difficile d'accÚs et vous allez devoir prendre plusieurs bus depuis KyÎto pour y parvenir mais cela en vaut la chandelle ! Partir à pieds à travers la campagne japonaise et découvrir les paysages tout au long d'une promenade hors des sentiers battus est en soi déjà une magnifique parenthÚse à quelques minutes de bus de KyÎto. Vous trouverez notamment dans les environs d'Ohara d'autres temples et sanctuaires trÚs intéressants, de par leur histoire, mais notamment lors de la saison des feuilles d'érabliers (momiji) qui se teintent d'un orange splendide (cf: Sanzen-in, JakkÎ-in). Pour ma part, ce fut une magnifique découverte, un temple, certes, bien moins grand que ces semblables dans le centre de KyÎto, mais bien plus appréciable de par la tranquillité émanant de ce lieu. Comptez 20 min de marche depuis l'arrêt de bus "Kochidani" et profitez de cette sublime traversée à travers cette forêt pour y parvenir. Un conseil : Allez y pendant la période des feuilles d'érablier ! (début Novembre à mi Novembre). Les frais d'entrées s'élÚvent à 500 yens.

平日にうかがいたした。 山門前には広倧な駐車堎があり、鄙びた山寺を想像しおいたから「なんだ。けっこう芳光地化しおいるんだな」ずちょっずがっかり。もっず䞊にも駐車堎があるこずが看板に曞いおありたしたが、正匏に参拝したくお山門をくぐり参道を歩き始めたした。 その参道は深い杉林の䞭を行けども行けども本堂は芋えない。ひたすら杉の朚ず偎を流れる枅流、時に「南無阿匥陀」ず刻たれた石碑が点圚するのみ。やっず山䞊のわずか数台が停められるだけの駐車堎たできお、高い石垣の䞊のお寺が芋えたした。そこたでも長い石段が続き、偎の枅流の岩も石段も石垣も、緑の苔によっお芋事に芆われおいる。 受付で拝芳料を払い埡朱印をお願いし、玄関を䞊がりたした。拝芳者は私ひずりで颚の音、鳥の声、枓流を流れる氎の音だけ。静寂の䞭、スマホのシャッタヌ音すら憚れるほど。開祖䞊人がいらっしゃる石窟はやはりこわいほど。「撮圱犁止」のような野暮な掲瀺はなかったけれど、やはりここは撮圱しおはいけない、そう感じさせる雰囲気がありたした。 打っお倉わっお本堂のご本尊、阿匥陀劂来はお顔が開祖䞊人が村人たちの芁望があっお自分に䌌せお圫ったずいうこずもあり、通垞の阿匥陀さたのお顔ではなく、芪しみやすい真面目そうな「おじさん」顔でなんだか安らかな気持ちになりたした。なんだか䜕時間でもここにいたいような。 他の拝芳者が来られたので、瞑想の時間を終えお垰途に着きたした。

最初に駐車堎を芋たずきの、単なる芳光寺院、ずいう印象はたったくの誀りでした。山門からの内偎は、たさに「...
