Worship.
I
walked
back
and
forth
from
a
cheap
meal.
In
709,
it
is
said
that
Ryume
appeared
and
built
various
temples
overnight.
In
730,
it
was
rebuilt
by
a
supreme
servant,
but
now
the
33-meter
tower,
the
five-storied
pagoda,
the
Kondo,
the
Niomon
Gate,
and
other
buildings
have
all
been
lost.
The
main
deity
is
a
copper
statue
of
Yakushi
Nyorai,
an
old
national
treasure,
and
now
an
important
cultural
property.
Only
a
photo
is
placed
in
the
hall
of
worship,
but
if
you
apply
in
advance
to
Sakaemachi,
you
can
see
it.
Only
the
head
was
made
during
the
Hakuho
period,
and
the
body
was
damaged
by
a
fire
in
the
Genroku
period
and
recast.
After
the
tower,
it
is
a
historic
site
designated
by
the
country
as
"Ryukakuji
Precincts
Pagoda",
and
the
water
stored
in
the
foundation
stones
inside
is
said
to
be
"increasable
stones"
that
do
not
increase
or
decrease
even
during
heavy
rain
or
sunshine.
Cultural
assets
such
as
sutras
and
roof
tiles
have
been
found
in
the
precincts.
A
long
time
ago,
Koryu,
who
could
not
see
farmers
suffering
from
the
drought,
rained
without
permission
of
his
boss,
and
was
torn
down
from
his
boss
to
his
head,
belly,
and
tail,
and
his
head
fell.
It
is
said
to
be
Ryukakuji
because
it
has
two
horned
heads.
At
present,
he
seems
to
be
homeless,
but
the
impression
is
that
he
is
well
maintained
and
cherished.
At
the
back
is
a
school
warehouse
built
in
the
early
Meiji
era,
which
was
moved
from
the
Shimosa
Goryo
Ranch
in
Sanrizuka
to
construct
Narita
Airport.
The
local
manhole
in
Sakaemachi
has
a
dragon
motif.

20/05/09参拝。安食から歩いて往復した。
709年、龍女が現れて、一夜のうちに諸堂を建立したと伝わる関東屈指の古寺。730年には釈命上人が整備したが、今では33mの三重塔、または五重塔や金堂、仁王門などの建物はすべて喪われた。
本尊は銅製の薬師如来座像で、旧国宝、現在重要文化財となっており、拝殿には写真が置かれているだけだが、栄町に事前申請すれば、拝観できるらしい。頭部のみが白鳳期の作で、体部は元禄期の火災で被害を受け、再鋳されたものだそうだ。
塔のあとは『龍角寺境内塔の跡』として国指定史跡で、中に置かれている礎石に貯まった水は大雨でも日照りでも増減しない『不増不減の石』とされる。境内から経筒、布目瓦などの文化財が見つかっている。
その昔、干ばつで農民が苦しんでいるのをみかねた小龍が、親分の許しを得ないまま、雨を降らせ、親分から頭、腹、尾に裂かれて、頭が落ちてきた場所とされ、二本の角のある頭を納めたことで龍角寺と言われている。
現在、無住のようだが、手入れは行き届いており、大切にされている印象。
奥に成田空港建設で三里塚の下総御料牧場から移された明治初期の校倉造りの資料庫がある。
地元・栄町のマンホールは龍がモチーフとなっている。
