Morinji is a temple related to the famous story "Bunpuku Chagama". From Morinjimae station, it is about 10-15 minutes walk.

I went here on a Tuesday afternoon, unfortunately, the amulet shop is closed from 12pm to 1pm. Also there is a museum with an entrance fee of ¥300. However, the museum is closed every Tuesday, Wednesday,...

Visited this temple with a cute tanuki theme. The tanukis were dressed in yukatas…kawaii. The main temple was under scaffolding, sadly 😞 Goshuin piece of paper stamp was offered instead of directly stamping in the book. The street leading to the temple were lined with cute shops selling tanuki’s...

「文福茶釜」 むかし茂林寺の和尚さんが茶釜を買ってきて湯を沸かすと狸の手足が出てきて和尚さんは気味悪がって茶釜を古道具屋に売ってしまう。 その夜、狸が古道具屋の枕元に現れ「ここにおいてくれれば芸をいたします」という。 そう聞いて古道具屋は見世物小屋を建て狸の芸で たちまち大金持ちになりましたが働き過ぎてで狸は亡くなってしまいました。 悲しんだ古道具屋は和尚さんにすべてを話し狸を供養してもらい茶釜は寺の家宝となりましたとさ。 物語は場合によって若干の違いはありますが超あらすじではこんな感じですかね。 1426年に開山された臨済宗のお寺で文福茶釜の舞台として有名です。(実際に300円でお寺のお宝や茶釜を見ることが出来ます。) 境内のいたるところに狸の像があるだけでなく門前のお土産屋さんも狸だらけで館林市の多くの飲食店の店前にも狸が並んでいます。また駅や地名、公共の建物にも茂林寺、文福などの名称がついていてお寺の伝承というだけではなく広く市民に愛されているんだな~と感じました。 茂林寺は山門と本堂が茅葺屋根となっており、特に本堂の茅葺屋根は巨大で見ごたえがあります。 駐車場に関してはお寺の駐車場とともに無料の観光駐車場もありますので駐車に困ることはなさそうです。 実は不思議なことが・・・・。 1か月くらい前に一度お寺を訪れたのですがレビューを書こうとしたら周辺の写真は残っているのにお寺の写真だけ1枚残らずきれいさっぱり消えていて本日2度目の訪問と相成りました。 やっぱりタヌキに化かされたのかなぁ・・・・? ※最後に可愛いタヌキの親子の写真載せましたので見てくださいね❤
