    ■20221103紅葉のライトアップが始まったと知り伺いましたよ。山全体が寺院の境内らしくライトアップに添いながら鑑賞してきました。見頃は1110くらいかもしれませんがなかなかよかった。

    2024.1.14 My wife won an award for excellence at a photo contest here, so I went there to thank her. thank you very much. 2023.8.26 Entsuji Temple, located in Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture, is the head temple of the Jodo sect (formerly) Nagoe sect, and has many historical cultural properties, such as the front gate and Issai Sutra Pagoda, both of which are important cultural properties. The front gate is a gorgeous gate that is said to have been built during the Muromachi period. The architectural style of the Muromachi period is beautifully expressed, such as the shrimp rainbow beams and flower head windows. The Issaikyo Tower is a building that houses scriptures and was rebuilt during the Edo period. There are beautiful paintings painted on the ceiling. Entsuji Temple is also known as a famous spot for viewing autumn leaves. In autumn, the autumn leaves spread all over the grounds, creating a magical atmosphere. The autumn foliage illumination is held from early November to early December every year, and is crowded with many worshipers. During the autumn leaves illumination event, the colorful autumn leaves become even more brilliant when illuminated. You can enjoy beautiful scenery that looks like a painting.

    Visited on November 23, 2023. The best time to see the autumn leaves is usually around November 20th, and it looks like you can enjoy it for about another week. There is also a walking path, so you can enjoy a leisurely stroll while admiring the beautiful scenery. Please be aware that there are some stairs and steep slopes. There are 15 to 20 parking spaces, so it's okay on weekdays, but depending on the timing on weekends and holidays, you may have to wait a little. The season of fresh greenery is also wonderful.

    大澤山虎渓院円通寺(だいたくさん こけいいん えんつうじ)。 鎮西流名越派の浄土宗寺院である。 開基は良栄上人で、応永元年(1394)頃に芳賀郡大平郷船橋(現・益子町大平)に虎渓院を建て、船橋談所として僧たちの学林(僧侶が学問する学問所)とした。 門弟には優秀な弟子が多く、また良栄上人は大澤(現・益子町大沢)の領主・大澤八左衛門尉(おおさわはちざえもんのじょう)の寄進を受け、現在地に「大澤山虎渓院円通寺」と号した。 良栄上人とそれに続く住職も、現代で言う図書館を境内に設けまた蔵書を増やし、「大澤文庫」として充実を図った。 さて、この寺院の見どころといえば、「表門」と「一切経塔(大澤文庫が収められている)」である。 非常に丁寧に手入れされた境内を歩きながら、古から続く寺の雰囲気に浸りたい。

    I saw it lit up for the first time! There were several places where it was difficult to see the roads and stairs because of the light-up lights, so I blocked the light with my palm and managed to see safely. It was quite mysterious and good.

  • 4/5 Saurabh S. 5 months ago on Google • 222 reviews
    It is well hidden temple with Japanese garden in the back side of the temple main building and buddha statue as well. The atmosphere is really calm and healing. They have mountain trail as well if you wanna have a little hike. It seems light up for autumn will start from November 1st.

    涅槃像が素敵との評判を聞きつけ、行ってみました。 手水や滝が凍ってるくらい寒かったけどw、石段の上の涅槃像と一切経塔は一見の価値あり。 もちろんご本尊や大きな鐘楼など、見所が沢山。お庭や散歩道も綺麗に整備されていて、ぜひ秋の紅葉のライトアップも見にきたいと思った🍁

    大沢山圓通寺。あまり知られていないのがもったいない由緒のあるお寺です。1402年創建。浄土宗名越派の総本山として多くの学僧に教える育成所でもあった。書籍や経典の蔵書は大沢文庫と呼ばれ、日本三大文庫の一つ。1574年正親町天皇より勅願寺となり、1604年徳川家康の朱印状により60石を受領した。 日本庭園も素晴らしく、特に紅葉の時期はライトアップもしているそうで、また秋になったら訪れてみようと思う。

    真岡鉄道の七井駅から徒歩で20分位の位置にあるお寺です。冬の訪れの為少し寂しい雰囲気でしたが、堂内は静かで可愛らしいお地蔵様がお賽銭箱の裏から微笑んでおり、気持ち良く参拝出来ました。こちらのお寺では御朱印は無いそうです。御朱印目当てで神社仏閣巡りをしている方はご注意です。

    2023.11.16 I visited Entsuji Temple because I wanted to see it. It is said that many learned monks gathered at Entsuji, a famous temple that was the head temple of the historic Nagoshu school of Jodo sect. There are many pagodas that house Buddhist ashes, but a pagoda that houses all sutras is rare. As I climbed the stairs beside the main hall, I looked up at the tower, which was shining brightly in the sunlight amidst the trees. Namu Amida Buddha

    Free parking available. There was no admission fee. This is a historic temple that was opened around 1400. The pagoda containing all the sutras was wonderful. It seems that it was a little early for the autumn leaves (November 20th), but there were some leaves that were changing colors and the atmosphere was quite good. You can look around in about 30 minutes. We recommend that you take about an hour to walk around slowly. There were many people with cameras in the precincts.

  • 3/5 矢吹翔太郎 5 months ago on Google • 66 reviews
    Visited on November 23rd. Perhaps now is the best time to see it. There are autumn leaves everywhere in the precincts. With light up. I was able to take some nice reflections. Cedar on the way up the stairs? There were some spots where the tufts of leaves got caught in the autumn leaves and didn't look very good, and the green netting in the pond was a bit...

    紅葉と銀杏がこの時期大変綺麗です。週末は駐車場が満車になり、隣接する道が細く、脇に側溝があるから注意が必要です。トイレは分かりづらいですが、御堂に上がってありました。

    The autumn leaves were a little late, I think they would have been spectacular a week ago. When I went to the top, it was beautiful.

    Visited on 2023.11.24 It was the best time to see the autumn leaves, and many people were visiting the shrine. It was well maintained and very beautiful. It seems to have a history dating back to the Muromachi period, so it was a worthwhile temple to see.

  • 5/5 ソラマメ 5 months ago on Google • 66 reviews
    I went there on 2023.11.25. After living here for 30 years, I never realized that such a wonderful autumn foliage spot existed nearby. There aren't that many people even on weekends, so you can enjoy the autumn leaves at your leisure. It looks like they are also lighting up at night! Recommended for people who want to avoid the crowds and enjoy the autumn leaves in a leisurely manner.

  • 4/5 M T. 4 months ago on Google • 43 reviews
    It seemed like it was a little late in the season, so there were a lot of fallen leaves, but I think it was good that there were some autumn leaves left in places. I'm sure it will be amazing during the peak season, and I definitely want to visit there next year!

    I was in the way of the photo shoot. It is a wonderful temple with a calm atmosphere. I spoke with the chief priest, and he is an honest and wonderful person. It is exactly the temple itself.

    The autumn leaves are lit up for a limited time! It was bigger and more impressive than I expected.

  • 5/5 つぶふく 3 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    I came here to pray for my daughter's entrance exam. It was a nice change of pace to look at the important cultural properties with interest, take a walk in the garden, and breathe in the fresh New Year's air. The chief priest was off on the third day, but he gave me a ``good luck charm'' and I was able to take the junior high school entrance exam safely. I was able to get into my first choice school with a high ratio! thank you very much!

  • 5/5 こうめ 5 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    To be honest, I didn't have high expectations since the temple is located in the countryside (I'm really sorry). When you arrive and pass through the gate, you will see beautiful autumn leaves next to the pilgrimage route. At this point I think it was worth coming. When I climbed the stairs with my eyes full of it, I found myself in another world filled with autumn leaves. A fantastic landscape that looks like a picture. I lost track of time while taking photos. Additionally, parking and viewing fees are free. Finally, we bowed in gratitude to the principal image, offered our worship fee, and left the temple. Very satisfied. Thank you for your wonderful time.

    (Translated by Google) Why don't you visit during the fresh green season? ⁉️ The new promenade hasn't had time to walk. You are a friendly and nice person here. (Original) 新緑の季節に訪れてみては⁉️新しく出来た遊歩道は時間がなく歩いていなくて。ここの御前は気さくで良い方です。

    2024/2/9 Stopped by while touring. The parking lot is gravel. It was a weekday morning, so I was the only one there. A wonderful temple ✨ There was also a cat 🐱 There was still snow and the atmosphere was great ♡

    法事で訪れました。お寺の中はきれいに掃除されており、気持ちよく利用できました。子供がグズってしまい、お庭を散歩したのですが、自然豊かでリフレッシュできました。すぐ隣に老人ホームや保育園があります。保育園は、自分の親が卒園しており、昔からある場所のようです。

    Um belo e histórico templo budista na região de Mashiko. O templo é muito bonito e também há partes que estão registrado como patrimônio histórico do Japão. As estátuas que existem no templo são muito interessantes e o local é ótimo para tirar fotografias, lugar muito bom para para quem gosta de templos e santuários.

    (Translated by Google) I wanted to go to the light-up... It's not convenient, so I give up... I went to see autumn leaves in the daytime. I was a little late, but... I saw beautiful autumn leaves. Next year, I want to go to the illuminated autumn leaves a little earlier. (Original) ライトアップに行きたかったのですが‥ 都合が合わず断念して‥ 昼間に紅葉を見に行って来ました。 ちょっとだけ遅かったですが‥ 綺麗な紅葉を見れました。 来年は,もう少し早めにライトアップ紅葉に行きたい。
