Inami-carved transom in the main hall depicting five dragons (three dragons each holding the Three Treasures). And the temple office and morgue? Eight of the Buddhist statues that were destined to be destroyed or thrown into the valley during the Habutsu Kishaku were donated to the government with the money they paid for going down the mountain, and the statues were received and enshrined at Rinseiji Temple❗ Admission fee: 400 yen. There are only places to see the Shimoyama Buddha statue and the main hall, but I think the eight precious Shimoyama Buddha statues and the five dragons carved by Inami are valuable. There are three types of goshuin, but only the date is handwritten and costs 300 yen each.

It was founded by Taicho Daishi and was a Tendai sect, a syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, but later became a Shinshu temple. Until the Meiji period, gods (Kikurihime no Mikoto) and Buddhas (Eleven-faced Kannon, Amitabha, and medicine men) were enshrined at the top of Mt. This temple has been protected as a descendant. This is the so-called Hakusan Shimoyama Buddha. It is enshrined at Hakusan Honjido. I came to climb Mt. Hakusan, but due to a landslide on the mountain trail, I couldn't climb the mountain from the beginning of the morning, and I didn't see any hope of it opening, so I stayed in the car and came to visit the shrine, but it was early in the morning and the shrine was originally closed due to the coronavirus. So this time I really only visited the shrine in the morning. Next time I come to Mt. Hakusan, I would like to visit Hakusan Honjido Hall on the way back.

The Goshuin stamp of Rin Saiji Temple was quite impressive. Namu Amida Buddha was written in Sanskrit characters. The chief priest's passion is evident. He explained the history of Shiramine and Mt. Hakusan in detail. The 400 yen admission fee was more than worth it. The carvings on the transom of the main hall are so amazing that you can feel it at first glance. When you're climbing Mt. Hakusan, you should definitely stop by Shiramine.

Recognizing the stone wall in front of the temple, I went there and discovered that there was a Buddha descending from Mt. Hakusan. The main hall and precincts are magnificent, and the carvings are magnificent, but the temple owner said, ``There's nothing interesting here,'' and showed me around the nearby folklore museum. However, the current Emperor is still in his Imperial Prince days, right? As expected. Why do I enter a temple by jumping in? There is a connection and it hits.

Nationally designated important cultural property Bronze standing eleven-faced Kannon statue Ishikawa Prefecture designated tangible cultural property Shiramine Rinsaiji Temple Hakusan Shimoyama Buddha (attached Buddha statues, etc. items) In 1874, due to the policy of separating Buddhism and Shintoism, many Buddhist statues were forced to descend from Mt. Hakusan, and one of the statues was moved to Rinsei-ji Temple as Hakusan Descending Buddha, and one of the statues was a bronze 11-faced Kannon, designated as an important cultural property by the country. It's a standing statue. This statue is a gilt-bronze Buddha that is said to have been donated by Fujiwara Hidehira of Oshu, and is one of the largest and rarest in the Heian period, when wood carvings were the mainstream. Many Buddhist statues were enshrined on Mt. Hakusan, which was a mountain of syncretism between Shinto and Buddhism, but in 1874, due to the policy of separating Shinto and Buddhism (Shinbutsu Handanrei issued in 1868), many Buddhist statues were forced to come down the mountain. I did. Nine Buddhist statues are enshrined at Rinsei-ji Temple, including this standing statue of the Eleven-faced Kannon, which is the descending Buddha from Mt. Hakusan.

I visited the shrine. Thank you. Namu Amidabutsu.

[During the Meiji Restoration, eight Buddhist statues on Mt. Hakusan were lowered] It was founded by Taicho Daishi in 717, and in 1473, he met Rennyo Shonin and converted to Shinshu Buddhism. The main hall was built as a separate temple during the Tenryo period (Edo period). Due to the anti-Buddhist movement of the Meiji Restoration, the Buddhist statues on Mt. Hakusanrei were moved down the mountain, and by paying the cost of going down the mountain to the government, the eight main Buddhist statues (nationally designated Important Monument, Hakusan Shimoyamabutsu) were received.

When you look at the beautiful roof tiles of the main hall, you can feel the harshness of the snow!

There may be a solemnity that cannot be seen from the outside.

It is a famous temple. It seems that worshipers come from all over the country. I came here in spring, and the townscape is beautiful.

It's a wonderful temple.

There are 3 Goshuin stamps.

(Translated by Google) I wonder if there is no connection ... I haven't worshiped you yet, but honestly for the tenth time ... Even if it's awkward, I still want to bother you without giving up. It might be a punishment ... (Original) ご縁が無いのか…まだ、拝ませて頂けていませんが、十数回目の正直…と… おこがましくも、まだ諦めずにお邪魔したいと考えている自分がいます。 罰当たりかもしれませんね…

It is a temple with a history. Please visit once❗️
