    (Translated by Google) Taken on October 15, 2021 In Ikaruga-cho, Ikaruga-no-sato, where the historical scenery around Horyu-ji Temple, Hoki-ji Temple, and Horin-ji Temple is integrated with the natural environment and rural scenery. In order to preserve the scenery and scenery, we cultivate cosmos with the cooperation of farmers as part of landscape formation. Especially around Hokiji Temple, there are vast fallow fields, and you can feel the eternal romance. You can enjoy cosmos against the background of the three-storied pagoda of Houkiji Temple, a World Heritage Site. Hokiji Temple was originally built in 606 when Prince Shotoku gave a lecture on the Lotus Sutra and converted it into a temple. It is counted as one of the seven temples built by the prince. 23.9m high. Built in 706 (Asuka period), it is the oldest three-storied pagoda in Japan (National Treasure). The higher you go, the smaller the rate is, and there is a sense of stability. It is said that the first, third, and fifth floors of Horyuji's five-storied pagoda are almost the same size as the first, second, and third floors of Hokiji. The current main hall, bell tower, and main hall were reconstructed in the Edo period and are registered as World Heritage Sites as part of the ``Buddhist Monuments of the Horyu-ji Area''. (Original) 2021.10.15撮影 斑鳩町では法隆寺をはじめ法起寺、法輪寺周辺などの歴史的景観と自然環境や田園風景が一体となった斑鳩の里の 風景・景観を保全するため、景観形成の一環として農家の方々の協力を得ながらコスモスを栽培しています 特に法起寺周辺には広大な休耕田が広がり悠久のロマンを感じながら 世界遺産・法起寺の三重塔を背景にコスモスが楽しめます 法起寺は606年に聖徳太子が法華経を講説された岡本寺を寺に改めたことが始まりで、法隆寺、四天王寺、中宮寺、広隆寺、橘寺(聖徳太子生誕寺)、葛木寺とともに太子建立七ヶ寺の一つに数えられています。 高さ23.9m。 706年(飛鳥時代)に建立された日本最古の三重塔です(国宝) 上層に行くほど小さくなる率が大きく安定感があります。 法隆寺の五重塔の初層、三層、五層の大きさと、法起寺の初層、二層、三層がほぼ同じ大きさであると言われています 現在の本堂、鐘桜、金堂などは江戸時代の再建で「法隆寺地域の仏教建造物」の一部として世界遺産に登録されている

    I went to Hokiji Temple, a popular tourist spot in Ikaruga Town, Ikoma District, to enjoy the cosmos and cluster amaryllis. . The three-storied pagoda, completed in 706, is the oldest existing three-storied pagoda at the time of Hokiji Temple's construction and is a national treasure. . This time, our objective is the cosmos fields around Hokiji Temple ♪ Depending on the location, red spider lilies are also blooming beautifully, so enjoy the beautiful scenery 👾 . There is a corn field nearby♪ There is a slightly scary mannequin lurking, so please look for it 😂

    (Translated by Google) I visited for the first time in May 2020. This three-storied pagoda is hard to describe in words. When I take pictures of old buildings, I try not to show telegraph poles or electric wires as much as possible, but I don't care if these three-storied pagodas appear in the photo. The presence is overwhelming. I haven't seen many to brag about, but I felt it was the most beautiful three-storied pagoda I've ever seen. It was nice to see you. In addition to the three-storied pagoda, the excellent 11-faced Kannon Bodhisattva statue from the Heian period is enshrined in the storehouse. The number of visitors was small, and I was able to see them comfortably. I would like to visit again when the ears of rice turn golden. (Original) 令和四年五月にはじめて拝観しました。 こちらの三重塔はちょっと言葉で表せないですね。古い建造物を写真で撮る際って、電信柱とか電線とか極力映らないように努めるんですが、こちらの三重塔はそんな物写っていようが全く気になりません。存在感が圧倒的です。人に自慢するほどたくさん見たことがある訳ではないですが、今まで見た三重塔で一番美しいと感じました。拝めて良かったです。 三重塔以外にも、収蔵庫に平安時代の秀作十一面観音菩薩立像が安置されています。 訪れる人も少な目でゆったり拝観できました。また稲穂が黄金色に染まる頃に訪れたいと思います。

    (Translated by Google) The atmosphere was really good. It was a temple with a slightly decayed Tsukiji fence and a rustic feel, which is very typical of Nara. I stayed for a while, but no one came. Above all, I was able to monopolize that space. There was no parking lot at the temple. I think that it is good to park in the sightseeing parking lot of Horinji Temple or the parking lot in front of Chuguji Historical Park. (Original) 雰囲気というか、何かすごい良かったです。ちょっと朽ちた感じの築地塀とか鄙びた感じとか、いかにも「奈良」らしいお寺さんでした。 あまり参詣客は来ないのでしょうか、しばらく滞在しましたが、誰も来ませんでした。あの空間を独り占めできたのは何よりでした。 お寺の駐車場はありませんでした。法輪寺の観光駐車場か中宮寺史跡公園前の駐車場に停めて行くと良いと思います。

    (Translated by Google) I've always wanted to visit Houkiji Temple, one of the world's cultural heritage sites, but I gave up because there was no parking lot. When I entered the narrow road opposite the persimmon farmer's market, there was a space near the entrance of the west gate. The office staff are kind. I was fascinated by the feeling of desolation. South Gate was closed. Goshuin is another one. ⬜️transcribed from web⤵️ It is called Hoki-ji Temple, Hon-ni-ji Temple Script Temple, and Tera-ni-ji Temple, and is counted as one of the Seven Temples of the Prince, along with temples, Shitennoji Temple, and Chugu-ji Temple. There is a sentence that the origin of the building was once engraved on the inscription of the three-storied pagoda of Hokiji Temple by a prince who was born in the era. According to it, on February 22nd in the 30th year of Suiko (622), the Prince decided to make his eldest son, King Yama no Oe, Sekimoto-gu Temple. In excavation surveys, * the remains of the predecessor building of Hokiji Temple have been confirmed, and it is believed to be Okamotonomiya, where Prince Shotoku gave a lecture in 606. (Original) 世界文化遺産の1つである法起寺に以前から寄りたかったが駐車場がなさそうで諦めていました。柿直売所の向かいの狭い道に入ると西門の入口近くにスペースあり参拝しました。社務所の方は親切です。 寂れた感じに魅力を感じました。南大門は閉まっていました。御朱印はもうひとつです。 ⬜️webより転写⤵️ 法起寺名、本尼寺 脚本寺、寺 尼寺と 呼ばれ、寺や四天王寺 中宮寺などとともに、 太子立七ヵ寺の1つに数えられる。時代に れた太子に、かつて法起寺三重塔の盤 銘に建の由来が刻まれていたという文」が 掲載されている。それによると、太子は推古30年 (622) 2月22日にあたって、長子の山大兄王に関本宮 寺院とすることをしたとある。 発掘調査においても、 ※法起寺の前身建物の遺構が確認されており、聖徳太子 が推古14年(606) 講説した岡本宮であると 考えられている。

    This is an old temple with one of the three Ikaruga pagodas. Horin-ji Temple was removed from the list after it was destroyed by lightning, but this three-storied pagoda is part of the World Heritage Site "Buddhist Monuments in the Horyu-ji Area." I took the route of Horyuji → Horinji → Hokiji, and as I walked through the idyllic Ikaruga, I felt like I had traveled back in time to the Asuka period. The temple grounds are compact, so I was able to hop between Hokiji and Horinji in about 30 minutes, including transportation. Hokiji Temple is said to have been opened by Prince Shotoku's son, Prince Yamashiro no Oe, in accordance with his will after his death. By the way, King Yamashiro no Oe was later killed by Soga Iruka, so he is a character that is talked about along with the sad history of the fall of the Prince's clan. Although all the buildings within the precincts look old, everything except the three-storied pagoda seems to have been built after the Edo period. The simple but well-maintained garden was filled with beautiful flowers that were blooming despite the cold season.

    Fall 2023 Weekdays This is an evaluation of edamame 😋 I walked from Horyuji to Horinji and Hokiji. The weather was nice so it was okay. We then played with cosmos at the Chugu-ji Temple ruins and returned to Horyu-ji Temple. I went to see the temple through the cosmos right next to Hokiji Temple. Farmers were selling seasonal black edamame in front of their work shed. You're lucky if you come across it; it's delicious, cheap, and highly recommended! ! Please bring an eco-bag. *Can I take it home since it's a train? It was heavy when I picked it up, but when I put it in my bag, it was surprisingly light even with the branches attached. I wandered around after buying it😆

    (Translated by Google) It is one of the seven temples built by Prince Shotoku, and has Japan's oldest three-storied pagoda, which is a national treasure. It seems that the temple has repeatedly risen and fallen, and at one point it has declined to the point where only the three-storied pagoda remains. I was impressed that I was able to make a good comeback from there. In addition, there is a large eleven-faced Kannon statue, which is an important cultural property. In addition, there is a Buddha statue that can be seen through the glass, but I could hardly see it because the glass reflected from the afternoon sun. We recommend visiting early. (Original) 聖徳太子御建立七ヶ寺の1つで、国宝である日本最古の三重塔があります。 お寺は盛衰を繰り返し一時は三重塔を残すのみの状態まで衰えたそうです。そこからよく盛り返せたなぁと感心しました。 その他に重要文化財の大きな十一面観音立像があります。その他、ガラス越しに見ることができる仏像もありますが、夕方の西日の加減からガラスが反射し、ほとんど目視できませんでした。拝観は早い時間をオススメします。

    法隆寺夏季大学が修了し、ひとり🚌で向かいました。十一面観音さまに労われた感を背に受け境内を散策。未草が微睡む直前みたいな長閑な浄らかさ。ここで一首といきたいが焼けつくような日射しに降参。受付のおじさま方も親切に松尾寺口への徒歩経路を教えてくださいました。仏縁に感謝。合掌。

    A relaxing moment when looking at flowers ❤️ When I'm in nature, I feel like I have less unnecessary thoughts and it's soothing ❤️ When I came here about a month ago, the cosmos were blooming beautifully! You can enjoy it without entering the temple, and there is no need to pay for parking!

    法隆寺、中尊寺、斑鳩神社、法輪寺、法起寺と歩いて周り、のどかな田園風景を堪能しました。三重塔は、我が国に現存する最も古いものだそうです。ここで出会った方は御朱印を若い時から集められていて1万以上になるそうです。色々な寺院、神社を回られた中で、岩船寺が良かったと教えていただいたので、行ってみようと思いました。

    法隆寺とともに登録された世界遺産。聖徳太子が立てたお寺の一つとされる。三重の塔は飛鳥時代からのもので、修復されつつも日本最古のもの。欄干の模様がいかにも飛鳥時代をあらわしており美しい。 三重の塔以外は江戸時代に建てられた建物のようで、こじんまりとしたお寺。 インド大乗仏教初期に成立した経典で、すべての仏教テキストのうちでも最も重要な経の一つ「法華経」を講じた岡本宮を、息子の山背大兄王が父の遺言によりお寺にしたのが始まりとされる。

    法隆寺のほど近く、斑鳩町の観光スポットと言えばこちら法起寺も出てくるでしょう。 歩いて行くのは少し遠く、車なら近くの法輪寺の駐車場に停めて両方お参りするのが吉。 コスモス寺の異名を持つだけあって、隣の土地には1面コスモス畑が広がります。 そして1番有名なのが三重塔。 現存最古の三重塔で、創建はなんと慶雲三年(706年)です。 その佇まいは優美で時代を感じます。 境内はこじんまりとしていて、収蔵庫にはご本尊の木造十一面観音立像を初めとした仏様が納められていますが、ガラス越しにお参りするので残念ながら見やすいとは言えません。 ご住職も達筆なので御朱印を集めてるならお忘れなく。

    以前から横を通るたびに美しい三重塔が気になっていましたがやっと拝観が叶いました。お寺の敷地と道路の間、少し下がった未舗装の所が参拝者用の無料駐車場です。周りを田んぼに囲まれて広々とした中に立つ三重塔。なんとも言えず良い感じです。他の参拝者の方もおられましたが人は少なくゆっくり散策も兼ねてお参り出来ました。

    (Translated by Google) Houkiji Temple of Ikaruga Three Pagodas. I've been here occasionally to take pictures during the cosmos season, but I stopped by on my way home today, so it's not a standard photo. In the evening, since it is from the east side, it will be backlit, but I simply shot only the tower. The rural landscape, with the Katsuragi-Kongo mountain range and the Yamato highlands in the distance, is typical of Nara. (Original) 斑鳩三塔の法起寺です。 コスモスのシーズン等ちょこちょこ撮影には来ておりますが、今日は帰宅時に立ち寄ったので定番の写真では有りません。 夕方、東側からなので逆光になりますがシンプルに塔だけを撮影してみました。 田園と、遠くには葛城金剛山系と大和高原、奈良らしい風景と思います。

    (Translated by Google) Hokiji Temple is also a world cultural heritage. Hoki-ji Temple seems to have been converted from Okamoto-gu, which is related to Prince Yamashiro, to a temple when Prince Shotoku passed away. The three-storied pagoda is famous for the three-storied pagoda of Horyuji Temple and the three-storied pagoda of Horin-ji Temple, and is designated as a national treasure. You can feel the atmosphere of Ikaruga's village in this temple, which stands quietly in the countryside of Ikaruga. Horin-ji and Horyu-ji are also nearby, so it's fun to visit them together. I was able to come in about 15 minutes by renting a bicycle on the approach to Horyuji Temple. Horinji Temple is also about 5 minutes by bicycle. It is good to take a leisurely cycle through Ikaruga no Sato. By the way, the rental cycle is reasonably priced at 200 yen per hour. (Original) 世界文化遺産でもある法起寺。法起寺は聖徳太子の薨去にあたり御子の山背大兄王がゆかりの岡本宮を寺に改めたものらしい。三重塔は法隆寺五重塔、法輪寺三重塔と併せて斑鳩三塔で有名で国宝に指定され中の真柱を見る事ができる。斑鳩の田園の中にひっそり佇むこのお寺に斑鳩の里らしい風情を感じる事ができる。 法輪寺、法隆寺も近く、併せて訪れると楽しい。法隆寺参道にあるレンタサイクルで15分程で来ることができた。法輪寺も自転車で5分程。のんびり斑鳩の里をサイクリングしながらが良い。 因みにレンタサイクルは一時間200円とリーズナブル。

    2023.11 It is a world cultural heritage site. Is it because the name is similar to Horyuji? Is it? Is awareness level low? It's also hard to know where to enter. Well, for now! ? So much time has passed. Unlike Horyuji Temple, there are no shops nearby, and it has already blended in with nature. The grounds are small for a shrine. It's about the size of a site where a millionaire would live. The parking lot is free. Unmaintained gravel and dirt parking lot. If it's raining, it's the worst in some places. Moreover, you have to park in the parking lot and walk along the road for a while to get to the temple, and you can see it from the cars driving by. And the entrance fee is a reasonable 300 yen. Overall it's ☆2.90~3.05.

    I went to see the national treasure three-storied pagoda. The parking lot is not through the entrance to the temple, but through a narrow road that goes down to the right after passing a short distance. It's located behind a temple, and the road is unpaved and uneven, so if you don't go slowly, you'll scrape the bottom of your car. The admission fee was 600 yen. The three-storied pagoda is magnificent. The temple was small in size and had a secluded atmosphere. It was a very nice environment with open views of the surrounding area and mountains in the distance.

    Last Nights Sunset in Ikaruga Town with Hoki-ji Pagoda as the background. This is the “Three-Story Pagoda” of Hōki-ji Temple, founded in 638 by Prince Shotoku. The Pagoda was built in 708 and is the oldest three-story pagoda in Japan.

    神奇的緣份牽引. 那天沒排行程, 來到JR 環狀線-櫻之宮駅, 想說第一班車就上車, 目地地由車班決定. 來了一班直達奈良的車. 研究了一下停站點, 看到法隆寺駅, 覺得是個好地方就來了. 到站後, 請教了站內案內所查詢交通方式. 熱心的姊姊推薦我逛完法隆寺後, 若仍有時間和體力, 可到法起寺走走, 看看最古老的三重塔 (飛鳥時期-708年建成, 為現存最古老的三重塔而著名. 世界遺跡之一), 真是令人大開眼界也佩服先人的工藝. 而參拜的十一面觀音菩薩立像, 則是尊嚴又肅敬. 讓我雜亂的心境立刻就平靜下來. 是一個讓人放鬆心靜的好地方. 我會再來的.

    (Translated by Google) A temple with the oldest three-storied pagoda in Japan (early 8th century). It is said that it was originally the site of Okamoto Shrine (it is different from Asuka Okamoto Shrine). The precincts are not so large, but the oldest three-storied pagoda is very attractive, and the distant view is also calming. It's not far from Horyu-ji Temple, so it's definitely a place you should stop by. (Original) 日本最古(8世紀初頭)の三重塔を有する寺。元々岡本宮のあった地と伝わる(飛鳥岡本宮とは別のもの)。境内はそれほど広くはないが、最古の三重塔は非常に趣があり、またその遠景も心を落ち着かせてくれる存在である。法隆寺からそれほど離れていないため、是非立ち寄ってもらいたい場所である。

    (Translated by Google) The three-storied pagoda seen from the bus stop raises the tension. I am grateful for the installation of the slope so that even people with bad legs can insert it smoothly. A red stamp is also available at the reception. Many Buddhist statues are enshrined in the treasure hall, and after visiting here, go to the three-storied pagoda. It feels very big and has a good impact. The autumn leaves in the pond were also wonderful (Original) バス停から見える三重塔はテンション上がります。脚の悪い方でもスムーズに入れるようスロープの設置がありがたいです。受付で御朱印も対応いただけます。宝殿に仏像が多数鎮座し、こちらを参ってから三重塔へ。とても大きく感じてインパクトが良いです。池の紅葉も素敵でした
