  • 4/5 ヒカル“ヒカル”ノリキチ 2 years ago on Google
    高麗(こま)神社様から、徒歩7~8分です。 真言宗 智山派 高麗山 聖天院勝楽寺(こまさん しょうでんいん)様です。 西暦751年に創建されたそうです。 詳しくは、ホームページを参照下さい。 拝観料大人300円、小人150円です。 拝観料を支払う場所は、無人で各々がお金を置く入れ物に入れて、拝観券を取ります。 お守りも分かりづらいのですが、拝観料を支払った門の裏側(お堂を背にして)の右側に有ります。 もしかしたら、布のような物で覆われているかも知れません。無人です。 お金(代金)は、どこに払うのか?分かりません。 多分、拝観料を支払う台と共通だと思われます。 鐘突堂の鐘を100円にて突く事が出来ます。 人気は、全く有りません。静かです。 駐車場は広く止めやすいです。

  • 5/5 Mateo de C. 8 years ago on Google
    I was told by my Japanese hosts this was a Korean shrine. Not understanding why that would be I looked it up and learned it was built by a Korean refugee community which fled war (destruction of an entire kingdom) on the Korean peninsula circa 1300. So I not only was able to visit another beautiful shrine but a very unique one and received a great history lesson as well. This place is more beautiful that the popular Koma Shrine just around the corner in my opinion.

    This temple is really good even when you look from far. The entrance is 300yen and if you want goshuin pay extra 300yen. Beautiful pond and sakura trees, try to visit during either sakura spring or momiji autumn. You could enter into the bell tower and check how it is,for me it was fight time. Then one more interesting thing is it has panda statue which is so rare this is first time seeing it , so took selfie with the panda

  • 4/5 ああ 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Located near Korai Shrine Until 17:00 (admission until 16:30) I went there after 16:00 on Saturday. A group was on their way home. The stairs are tired, but the view is the best! ! When you go up the stairs in the pay area There is no one on the right side, but you pay the admission fee. (300 yen for adults, 150 yen for children) You can buy 3 types of Goshuin there. Go through the gate and on the left is an unmanned amulet for sale. (Original) 高麗神社すぐ近くにあります 17:00まで(入場は16:30まで) 土曜日の16:00過ぎに行きましたが 一組が帰るところでした。 階段疲れましたが、眺めが最高!! 有料エリアの階段を上がると 右側に無人ですが拝観料を支払う (大人300円小人150円) そこで御朱印3種類購入できます 門をくぐり、左側で無人ですがお守り売ってます

    巾着田からの帰り道 何気なく景色を眺めていたら ハッとするくらい目に入ってきた景観😳✨ 小高い傾斜に建つ大きく立派な寺院✨ 更にまだ上にも建設中の建物が、、、 拝観料を所定の場所に納めて ※こちらに御朱印も置いてありました 急な階段を上がり(足にくる〜💦) 目の前に開ける景色は綺麗に管理されている大きく立派な本堂とその庭園です🤗 振り返ると見事な景色が✨✨ 気分が晴れました🥰 ちょっとタイムスリップした気分になりました✨

    Beautiful quiet and spacious temple grounds set well back from the main road. Gardens maintained with care with long history relating to the connections between Japan and Korea.

    (Translated by Google) Admission is free from New Year's Day to the 7th. Amazake is sold until the 7th. There is also a red stamp. Free parking is also large. You can get a bell for 100 yen. When you arrive up the stairs, you will be impressed by the scenery. You can also pray for the main hall. (Original) 元旦から7日まで拝観無料です。 7日まで甘酒販売しています。 御朱印もあります。 無料駐車場も広いです。 100円で鐘つきできます。 階段を上り到着すると感動する景観が広がってます。 本堂祈願もしていただけます。

    高麗(こま)王が祀られているらしい。 立派なお寺です。近くの高麗神社は賑わっているのに、ここはだ〜れもいません。お坊さんも、受付も、職員さんも、だ〜れもいません。参拝者もカップル1組見かけただけです。お守り、御朱印、おみくじ、全てセルフです。入場料も自分で払って勝手にお参りします。 ある意味パワースポットです---!

👍👍 Takes approximately 1:30 hour to get here from Central Tokyo. Tranquil rural area, so be prepared that trains don’t run here as frequently as they do in Tokyo. 30 min wait for a regular train is normal. Park itself is really well maintained. There’re street food vendors and we even saw a monkey show...

👍👍 絶景です。青い空に白い雲、青い海に白い波、緑の岬に白い灯台、いやホント絶景です。紀伊半島最西端の地、日の岬にある灯台です。いつの間にか海上自衛隊の基地が閉所され、いつの間にか新しい場所に新しい灯台が建っていました。白い八角柱の珍しい形をした灯台で、日ノ御埼灯台としては3代目に当たるそうです。戦時中の...
