    Tamonji Temple, located in a quiet residential area in Tarumi Ward, Kobe City, is an ancient temple that is said to have been founded by Jikaku Daishi, a disciple of Saicho (Dengyo Daishi), in the Heian period (around 840). Approximately 3,000 trumpet trees are planted in the precincts, and it is said that they were first brought back from China by Jikaku Daishi about 1,100 years ago. The Shinji Pond in the precincts, the curved bridge over Benten Pond, and the flower landscape of Kakitsubata have been selected as one of the ``Top 50 Famous Places for Kobe Flowers'' and are said to be carefully cultivated by local residents. There was also a parking lot nearby. There were some areas that were undergoing renovation work, so I'm looking forward to seeing them after the construction work 😁✨

    At Tamonji Temple in Tarumi Ward, Kobe City, the Japanese snail butterfly is in full bloom. As soon as you passed through the Niomon Gate, you could see about 3,000 Kakitsubata plants blooming, filling the Benten Pond in front of you. The scenery along with the remaining azaleas was beautiful and worthy of the name "Temple of Flowers." Tamonji Temple has a small and quiet precinct, but according to temple legend, it was founded in the early Heian period (AD 860) at the request of Emperor Seiwa, and is a historic temple whose founder was Jikaku Daishi Ennin. Kakitsubata (Water Iris) are in full bloom at Tamonji Temple in Tarumi Ward, Kobe City. The sight of approximately 3,000 kakitsubata plants in full bloom filling the Benten Pond in front of the temple as soon as one passes through the Niomon Gate was spectacular . The azaleas that remained in full bloom were also beautiful, and the scenery was worthy of the temple's name, "temple of flowers." Tamon-ji Temple is a small and quiet temple, but according to temple legend, it was founded in the early Heian period (AD 860).

    It is an old temple that is said to have been founded in the Heian period, and it seems that in ancient times this whole area was the territory of the temple. It seems to have been a large temple. Of course, there were many powerful and powerful people there, and one theory is that there were many people who went to Kyoto from here, so it is also said that the rumors passed down from there may have been the model for the Akashi Nyudo in The Tale of Genji. It is. It's definitely the perfect time and place. Although it is an ordinary temple now, the grounds are just the right size to take a walk and think about the past. It's not the peak of New Year's visit, so the nearby parking lot is empty.

    Visited as a sacred site of the 13 Buddhas of Kobe. Entering the parking lot was at a sharp angle and my car was unable to turn and entered in reverse. It was busy with various construction work going on, but it's located in a residential area, so I hope it will continue to be maintained and protected as a place where you can relax even as the surrounding area gets developed.

    (Translated by Google) It's a very good temple. I think it was originally a land rich in nature, but ... The surrounding residential area was created completely ignoring the landscape, so it feels like the old splendid temple is buried in the house. … I hope that the temple will continue to be calm and calm. (Original) とても良いお寺です。 元々は自然の豊かな土地であったと思いますが…周囲の住宅地が景観を全く無視されて造成されているので、せっかくの古い立派な寺院が、住宅の中に埋もれている感じがします… これからも穏やかな心落ち着く寺院であって欲しいと願っております。

    It's still under construction, but I don't get to see it often, so I'm looking forward to seeing it become beautiful. It seems that Amida here has transformed into a centipede, and the roof tiles are centipede-like? I received a rare Goshuin stamp. Kobe Thirteen Buddha Sacred Site No. 10 Akashi Saigoku Sacred Site No. 29 I received two types. thank you very much.

    This is a Tendai sect temple. It has a long history as a temple commissioned by Emperor Seiwa. Before the Meiji period, it seems that there were many subsidiary temples and the temple area was quite large, but due to the Meiji era's anti-Buddhist-kishaku and Shinto-Buddhist separation ordinances, and the opening of farmland after the war, the temple grounds are no longer there, but the precincts have been well-maintained and are covered in grass. is famous. The stone wall with thick holes is also beautiful. The principal image is Bishamonten, and the side attendants Nikko and Gekko Bosatsu are important cultural properties of the country.

    I've never been there even though it's my hometown, so I decided to take advantage of the coronavirus pandemic and go there. I thought it would be a smaller temple, but I was surprised at how big it was. Unfortunately, the building was under construction, so I would like to come back once the construction is finished.

    My parents' graves are in the Tamonji cemetery, and I visit them several times a year. It is a temple of the Tendai sect, but there is a wooden statue of Aun at the gate across the narrow path from the cemetery, and there is an irises pond in the courtyard leading up to the main hall, and although you cannot enter the forest on the back mountain, you can see the bell tower. It has a nice atmosphere, or you can stop by during a walk. The parking space at the cemetery is not very large, and it is somewhat difficult to enter from the narrow alley. A Tendai monk chants sutras from a small hall adjacent to the parking space. I feel like I'm in a comfortable space, more like listening to a male chorus than a sutra. Although it is a small temple surrounded by residential areas and a concrete river that flows through the city, it is full of history and taste.

    (Translated by Google) Until the middle of May, the irises bloom all over the pond in front of the temple, and the beauty is soothing. Tamonji is a famous temple from ancient times. Bishamonten is enshrined The iris is worth seeing (Original) 5月半ばまでカキツバタが寺院の前の池一面に咲き 心が洗われるような美しさです 多聞寺は古くからの名刹で 毘沙門天が祀られています カキツバタは一見の価値があります

    The oyster butterfly was a little past its prime, but it was beautiful. I received a goshuin stamp, and the people at the temple were very kind and easy to talk to, so I had a good encounter with them.

    (Translated by Google) It had a beautiful garden and pond. I went to get a red stamp. (Original) 綺麗なお庭と池がありました。御朱印をもらいに行きました。

    (Translated by Google) The view of Moriwaka iris. 15 minutes by bus from JR Maiko Station. Immediately after getting off in front of Tamonji. A CD of Shomyō, which sings sutras like a song, is also on sale (2500 yen). This is recommended! (Original) 杜若カキツバタの見処。JR舞子駅からバスで15分。多聞寺前で降りてすぐ。お経を唄のように唱える声明ショウミョウのCDも販売(2500円)している。これはオススメ!
