Kinshoozan 金生山 明星輪寺 Myojorin-Ji
This temple is locally known as
Akasaka Kokuzo 赤坂虚空蔵. Kokuzo-san 「虚空蔵さん」「こくぞうさん」

It is one of the three great temples dedicated to Kokuzo Bosatsu.
The other two are
京都法輪寺 Horin-Ji in Kyoto and 伊勢朝熊山金剛證寺 Kongosho-Ji in Ise.
It is also Nr. 31 on a pilgrimage to 33 Temples in Nishi Mino
西美濃三十三霊場第三十一札場

This temple has been founded by En no Gyoja on request of Emperor 持統天皇 Jito Tenno (645 - 703). It was not very popular but got revived by Kukai Kobo Daishi in the year 801.
In 1148 it burned down after a lightning struck the temple hall and had then be reconstructed much smaller.
In 1609 the daimyo of Mino, Tokunaga Nagamasa 徳永寿昌 (1549 - 1612) it was again re-built.
In 1657 it became the main prayer temple for the domaine, thanks to daimyo Toda Ujinobu 戸田氏信 (1600 - 1681).
In 1863 the main hall was built as we see it today by lord Toda Ujiakira 戸田氏彬 (1831 - 1865).

In 1869 due to the separation of Buddhism and Shinto the hall for Zao Gongen was re-named to become a Shinto shrine, 金生山神社 Kanabu Jinja.

Waterfall Ascetism (taki shugyoo 滝修行)


Click for more photos !


新滝で滝修行
次は新滝での滝行です。険しい山道を登りきると雄大な新滝が姿を現します。清滝と違い駐車場からはその雄大な滝を眺めることはできません。ここには新滝不動明王と二大童子、穴弁財天、観世音菩薩、大黒天などが祀られています。まず諸神仏に滝行中の安全祈願とご加護の祈念をします。今年は穴弁財天の神前を工事していたため穴弁財天さまではお参りできませんでした。雄大な滝であるため、ここで命を落とした行者も多いことです。ここには成仏しない霊も多く、しっかりした指導僧のもとに滝行を修めることが不可欠です。また大量の水が高所から落ちてくるため頭と頚部にかなりの負担がかかります。姿勢によっては頚椎損傷の危険もあります。素人が受けられる滝ではありません。決して無理をしてはいけません。命がけで修行する場合もありますが、これはごく一部の高僧だけに許されることで、命を無駄にすることは許されないのです。命を大切にできない者は行者にはなれません。無茶で危険な修行を行っても、ご神仏は守護して頂けないでしょう。大切なことは極端な修行をするのではなく、地道に一生修行を続けることなのです。




........................... Kiyome no Taki
清めの滝


Only a handful of experienced ascetics are allowed to stand under this waterfall. It carries a lot of water after rain and is really dangerous.
The most important part is not really to take part in a dangerous exercise but to lead a proper life every day. This is what you can learn at this waterfall.

Azabu keikoku　浅布渓谷 Azabu Gorge
Azabu Gorge is a 1.6 km gorge located in the upstream of the Hazama River, which flows out of Mt. Kurikoma in the northern part of Miyagi Prefecture. It is known as a scenic place where eroded rocks create wonderful figurative art of nature.

The varied scenery of the gorge includes two waterfalls, to both of which visitors can get near by taking the walking trails.
The Fudo Waterfall flows down gently with a full river width, while the Shikan-no-taki Waterfall flows down dynamically with splashes of water from the narrow torrent.
In summer, a lot of people come to enjoy fishing, viewing fresh tender green and bathing in cool flow of water. In fall, dense foliage covering rocks turn red and yellow and add flamboyant colors to the landscape. Viewing beautiful red and yellow patterns created on rock surfaces and listening to the sounds of stream, you will be able to spend a luxurious time of refreshment and relaxation.

幸田町 不動ヶ滝　The Fudogataki Waterfall in Koda Town
The Fudogataki Waterfall in Fudogataki-en Park in Koda Town, Aichi Prefecture, is an artificial waterfall with a height of 6 m and a width of 5 m. The park is a part of Mikawa Bay Quasi-National Park.

Clear stream that springs out of Mt. Tobone flows down gently over an artificial stone wall built in the park. Though the water volume is small, water is cold even in summer and provides a fine and safe bathing pond for children.
Surrounded with fresh green trees, Fudogataki-en Park is designed to utilize natural land features. As the park is equipped with a camping site for 60 people, cooking facilities, kiosks and picnic shelters, visitors can fully enjoy various outdoor activities. The Waterfall Festival is held in July every year.

鳥山石燕『今昔百鬼拾遺』 Illustration by Toriyama Sekien
諸国の滝つぼよりあらはるると云 青竜疏に一切の鬼魅諸障を伏すと云々

There are many waterfalls in Japan, where this Yokai appears..
One is mentioned in the 青竜疏 Blue Dragon Commentary by Saicho.
It is not really a Yokai, but seems to be Fudo Myo-O himself.

. Saicho, Dengyo Daishi 最澄 伝教大師 .
(766 - 822) - established the Tendai Sect.


Another legend knows this as its origin:
Once the priest 相応和尚 So-o of the temple 葛川息障明王院 Katsuragawa Sokusho Myo-O In Myo-O In in Shiga found a 霊木 divine tree in the waterfall basin and carved this statue of Fudo Myo-O out of it.

. 建立大師相応和尚 Konryu Daishi So-O Kasho .
(833 - 918)
and the Katsuragawa 葛川息障明王院 Katsuragawa Sokusho Myo-O In



The statue of Fudo is a secret statue and only shown on the 28th day of the 8th month.
