    (Translated by Google) Another name: Kozan Daishi. He is affectionately called "Odaishi-san" by the locals. From Kabutoyama Daishido to the precincts, you will climb a lot of stone steps. The scenery from the precincts is superb. [Sect/temple status] Buddhism: Omuro sect of Shingon Buddhism Temple status: Exceptional head temple [honzon] Nyoirin Kannon 【history】 It is said that Emperor Junna's wife (fourth wife) invited Kukai to open it. It is said that the princess received training and had her hair shaved by Kukai and became a Nyoini. Personally, I am interested in the connection with Nobunaga Oda and Hideyoshi Toyotomi. When Nobunaga hunted down Murashige Araki, it was burned to the ground because it was used as 'Kannouji Castle' to supply Murashige's supplies and as a signal. After that, most of the temple territory was confiscated by Hideyoshi's Taiko land survey, and it seems that he descended and moved to the area where the place name 'Kanno-cho' remains today. After that, successive chief priests continued the movement to return to Mt. (Original) 別称:甲山大師。 地元で「おだいしさん」と親しまれている。 甲山大師道から境内までは、結構な石段を登ることになる。 境内からの景色は絶景。 【宗派・寺格】 宗派: 真言宗御室派 寺格: 別格本山 【本尊】 如意輪観音 【歴史】 淳和天皇の妃(第四妃)が空海を招いて開いたと言われる。妃は空海から修行・剃髪を受けて如意尼となったとか。 織田信長や豊臣秀吉との因縁が、個人的には興味深い。 信長が荒木村重を追討した際に、村重側の補給や烽火の用途で「神呪寺城」として使われていたため、焼き討ちにあった。 その後、秀吉の太閤検地で寺領の大半が没収され、現在「神呪町」という地名が残るあたりに下山・移転したらしい。 その後、歴代住職が甲山への復帰運動を続け、江戸中期に現在の場所に戻ったとか。

    Just the other day, I was trying to go to Shinjuji Temple for the first time the next day. I looked at the Facebook Nishinomiya group and found that there were a lot of wasps and it was dangerous! There was a post saying, so I stopped and went to a shrine in Osaka. And wasps are more likely to appear when the temperature is high. The group taught me, It's cloudy today so it should be fine! and on the bus I went. Thankfully, I wasn't attacked by wasps. I thought I could walk back to Koyoen Station, but I got lost... And around 3:00 pm...on the way, I finally found a shop... When I asked, it was impossible to walk! They said. As we were discovering the bus stop, the moment we got on the bus, it started raining heavily. Along the way, there were many different Jizo statues and graves along the way. I felt like it really helped me.

    (Translated by Google) A Shingon Buddhist temple at the foot of Mt. It is commonly known as Kouyama Daishi. There is a parking lot, so you can go by car, or you can go by bus from Hanshin Nishinomiya Station. There were quite a few people who stopped by on the way to hike. The interior was calm and beautifully decorated. The view from the observatory in the precincts was amazing. It's not a superb view, it's a superb view that can only be described as spectacular. (Original) 甲山の山麓にある真言宗のお寺です。通称甲山大師と言われているそうです。駐車場がありますので車で行けますし、阪神西宮駅から路線バスでも行けます。ハイキング途中で立ち寄られている方が結構おられました。境内は落ち着いた感じで綺麗に整備されていました。境内の展望台から見える景色は凄かったです。絶景って言うもんじゃないですね、お見事としか言えないぐらい絶景です。

    Up in the mountains of Nishinomiya, there were only a limited number of buses, so some people came by hiking. The view was amazing, and coincidentally there was a rainbow 🌈.

    I happened to come across it while climbing a mountain, so I went there. It looked like a very historic temple. Donations were collected from many local businesses. It's on top of a mountain, so the scenery was nice and it felt good. It's a fairly easy climb, so it's recommended for holidays.

    (Translated by Google) Most people go there by car, but I went on foot. I got off at Koyoen Station on the Hankyu Koyo Line and walked along the road called Kozan Daishimichi for about 20 minutes. *From the explanation next to the gate about Niomon "It's a variant of Sangen Ikko Yatsuashimon, with a high roof four-legged gate in the center and low roofs on the left and right, which is extremely rare as a Niomon gate. It's a building. 』 From here, go up the long stairs again and reach the area with the main hall at the top. If you look up from the bottom of the mountain, you can see the bell tower rising halfway up the mountain. There is also an observatory near the main hall. This seems to be a popular place for worshipers. It has a roof and a long chair is placed, and the scenery is good and the wind is refreshing. Some people were eating with their lunch boxes. (Visit: 2022-08-15) (Original) 大抵の人は車で現地まで行くようですが、私は徒歩で行きました。 阪急甲陽線 甲陽園駅で降り、甲山大師道という車道沿いに20分ほど歩き、途中林の中へ向かう参道に沿って歩き、やっとの思いで仁王門まで辿り着きました。 ※仁王門について門の横にあった説明文より 『中央に高屋根四脚門(たかやねよつあしもん)を構え、左右に低屋根を段違いにかけた三間一戸八脚門(さんげんいっこやつあしもん)の異形で、仁王門としてはきわめて珍しい建物です。』 ここからまた長い階段を上り頂上の本堂のあるエリアに辿り着きます。途中下から見上げると鐘楼が山の中腹にそびえ立つ姿が見えます。 本堂近くには展望台もあります。ここは参拝客に人気の場所のようです。屋根付きで長椅子が置いてあり、何と言っても景色がよく風も吹いてきて爽やかです。お弁当持参でお食事している人達もいました。 (訪問:2022-08-15)

    駐車場は、広いです。長い石段ですが、振り返って見るといい景色が見えます。仏像を見たかったですが、見れないです。時期限定のようです。新西国三十三所です。

    Night view is so nice. We could get on the view point, only 5 minutes walking from the parking.

    There is a parking lot and buses run frequently. After getting out of the car, there are some stairs to reach the temple grounds. The Yutsu Kannon statue, known as the Three Great Nyoirin Kannons, can only be seen on May 18th, but you can touch the Bintou Luzon statue at any time. I think it is a temple with a very strong presence.

    Since I moved, I only come back to Kansai three times a year, but I went to Jinjuji for the first time in a while and it was a nice shrine. I will go to New Year's visit every year.

    A temple with a beautiful view. It is famous for its Yutsu Koban😊You can climb Mt. Kosan from the back of the temple! The steep staircase course is the shortest route and will take you to the top in about 10 minutes 🏕 You will be exhausted 💦

    (Translated by Google) The shrine is located halfway up Mt. Kabuto, and the scenery overlooking the city of Osaka is very beautiful. The shrine, precincts, and buildings are splendid and recommended for worship and sightseeing. Since it is in the mountains, there is a considerable difference in elevation. (Original) 甲山の中腹にある神社であり、大阪市内が見下ろせる景観は凄く綺麗である。 神社及び境内、建物も立派であり参拝、観光で行くにお勧めである。 山にあるのでかなり高低差がある。

    淳和天皇のお妃 如意尼が弘法大師を招いて開創。お椀を伏せたような甲山の中腹にあるお寺です。 ご本尊は弘法大師が如意尼のお姿を写して桜木に彫られたと伝わる秘仏。融通観音と呼ばれる如意輪観音さまで、日本三如意輪の一つだそうです。 毎年5月18日にご開帳 で、大勢のお参りの方が来られます。

    前日に法要と言うことで 混雑は少しは緩和されてるとは思いますが やっぱり本尊さまへ たどり着く迄はかなりの時間かかりますね もう少し受付 途中の誘導など改善が必要かなとおもいますね、法話などが有ればなお活気づくとおもいますので 見るだけじゃない ところを見せて欲しいです。🙏

    古いお寺でした。 山の上にあるので戦火から逃れたのでしょうか… 小判のお守りを買い求めに訪れました。 展望台からの景色が美しかったです。 癒される場所でした。 ありがとうございました。

    (Translated by Google) I visited the New Saigoku 33 temples. The majestic view from the precincts was nice, but I liked the corner where many stone statues were placed around. There are many Buddha statues that have no name but seem to have a high degree of miraculous power, and I felt a sense of wonder. (Original) 新西国33所巡りでお参りしました。境内からの雄大な眺めも良かったですが、たくさんの石像が周囲に置かれている一角がよかったですね。名もないけど霊験の高そうな仏像が多くて神妙さを感じました
