8月の猛暑の中、神戸を朝3時に出発して参拝に出かけました 目的は念願の西国33ヶ所巡りを開始するにあたり、きちんと1番札所からスタートしたかったからです 7時過ぎには那智山に到着、あまりに早い到着でお土産屋さんの駐車場はまだ閉まったままで有料の規制道路を通れば400段以上の階段を歩くことなく境内に行けるようですがこれもやはりきちんとスタートから…ってことで駐車場入口が開いていた参道近くの那智山観光センターの駐車場へ入りました 料金所に人影なくお店も開店前のようで駐車料金は帰りにお支払いしようねと話しながら長い階段を歩き始めました 参道途中のお土産屋さんも開店前で人も少なく、芙蓉?ムクゲ?がきれいに咲いていたり、おそらく地元のご年配の方であろう男性が階段を降りて来られて、おはようございますお参り下さりありがとうございますとご挨拶いただいたり長旅でしたがとても良い気持ちになりました 長い階段は夫と2人で話しながら、一息つきながら上がったのであっという間でした 夫よサンキュー 今では貴重な神仏習合の那智山は右へ上がれば青岸渡寺、左へ上がれば那智大社、どちらを進んでも境内でつながってはいますが目的は西国巡礼なので右へ上がり門をくぐってとどめの階段を登りきってご本堂へ。 お線香を立ててお賽銭をして合掌。 ご本堂内右側に納経所があり、西国巡礼を始めるので御朱印帖をいただきたい旨を伝えるとたくさんのサンプルのあるコーナーを見せて下さり、西国専用の御朱印帖をお勧めして下さったのでコンパクトなサイズのものを選びました どちらからお参りですか? 神戸からですか! 2時?3時?くらいに出て来られたの? よくお参り下さいました などと労って下さり、またまた清々しい気持ちになりました 来年3月までは散華をいただけるとの事、1番札所ならではで既に美しい御朱印は記帳されていて御朱印料も含まれていますからと2冊分5000円をお支払いして大切な御朱印帖を入手しました カバーが付いていないタイプなので今後酷使されるであろう大切な御朱印帖、何かカバーを付けようと思います そういえば御朱印帖の脇に御朱印帖カバーが売られていたような? 買えば良かったかなぁ… ご本堂を出て境内をぐるりと1周して勢いよく流れ落ちる那智の滝、3重の塔を写真におさめてお隣の那智大社へ。護摩木を供えてこちらは神社なので2礼2拍手1礼をして参拝。 熊野三山の1社で八咫烏でもおなじみなので本殿横の小さなお社も参拝しました この日は紀州の札所3ヵ寺を巡るという目標を立てていたので観音様と神様に早々にお別れをして参道を下りました 那智山観光センター前にある公衆トイレはとても清潔でした 8時を少し回っていたけどお土産屋さんも料金所も全く人の気配がなくそのまま駐車場を出ました 勝手に駐車をしてごめんなさい 懐かしい那智黒飴を買いたかったけれどいつかまたもう一度重ね参りをする時があれば立ち寄りますのでお許し下さいませ 夏休み期間中で長いお盆休みの間でもあったので早い時間帯でしたがご家族連れの他府県ナンバーの車もちらほらいらっしゃっていました きっと近くの那智勝浦温泉に宿泊されていたのでしょう もう少し涼しい季節ならだいぶ手前の駐車場に車を置いて杉の木立ちの大門坂をゆっくり歩いて上がるのもかつての熊野詣の雰囲気を味わえて良いかもなぁ…などと思いつつ、いやいや私たちは日帰り3カ寺の弾丸だ!と那智山を後にしました 紀勢道がすさみ南インターチェンジまで出来ていて、その先しばらくは海沿いの景色を見ながら橋杭岩や紀伊大島、潮岬などつい先日の台風7号の時にテレビ中継で見ていた景色の本物やん!とあれこれ話しながらドライブを楽しみました 那智勝浦インターまではほんの僅かですが高速?バイパス?もあって那智山までの親切な看板がしきりに示されているので迷わず行く事が出来ました 毎回の疑問ですが、何故車の旅って往路はとても長いのに帰路は...

Well, somewhat lesser known than the neighboring Kumano Nachi Taisha, this is actually where the most famous picture that shows up on many travel sites and books, rivaling Mt Fuji, Kyoto Pagoda and many others.

Directly on the Kudo, it clearly is a favorite even past emperors had come here to stay for periods of time.

The large modern acommodation facilities shows it still has good followings. Even saw a nice full sized Lexus parked in the middle of the temple--probably some of the richest monks we have actually seen in...

After 5-days hike on the Kumano trail and reaching this last destination was rewarding. Seiganto-ji was nestle next to the hillside with plenty of greeneries surrounding it and the breathtaking Nachi waterfall at the back drop with clear blue skies. It is a view you would not miss. Plenty to see around the area if your legs can still walk. The serene Nachi Taisha Grand shrine is just a stone throw away with...
