Pilgrimage to 88 sacred temples in Sasaguri, Fukuoka, Kyushu
in honor of Kobo Daishi Kukai 弘法大師 空海.











::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


One of the three new Henro pilgrimages in Japan.

It has been established by a monk called 慈忍 Jinin around 1835, after he completed the Henro walk in Shikoku. He wanted to give the priests, nuns and villagers, who could not travel to Shikoku, to have a chance to the benefit of a full pilgrimage. After his death, the caritable people of the village 篤志家 continued to support this project.

- quote -
篠栗霊場の歴史は天保年間、慈忍という人物がこの地を訪れた天保六年に始まる。慈忍は四国八十八箇所を巡拝したその帰りに篠栗村に立ち寄った尼僧であった。四国八十八箇所の開祖たる弘法大師も訪れたと伝わるこの村の者達の困窮を垣間見た慈忍は、その救済を目論みこの地にとどまり弘法大師の名において祈願を続け、やがて村に安寧をもたらしたものと伝わる。このことを弘法大師の利益(りやく)であるとした慈忍は、村の者達に四国のそれを模した88か所の霊場の造成を提案。呼応した村人達の手によって徐々に石仏がつくられはじめ、慈忍が没したのちにおいて、その志を継ぐ村の篤志家達の尽力によって88に達する霊場群が完成、それが今にある篠栗霊場の起源であると伝わっている。なお、明治期、成立した霊場会に対し、一部の寺院が土地建物を買収し、本来の札所とは一部異なる、との批判もある。

横浜市中区野毛町の成田山横浜別院
Kanagawa-ken, Yokohama-shi, Naka-ku, Nogechō, 3 Chome

- quote
The treasured Buddha statue of the Tokugawa family, Fudo Myo-o, which is said to fulfill people’s wishes is enshrined.
The temple is located on a hill, and offers views of the town of Noge and the Minatomirai area. The temple grounds also include Daishido (Founder’s Hall) where Kobo Daishi (another name for Kukai) is enshrined, Inarido, and old Buddha statues offering an enjoyable walk.

This is not a temple that is steeped in ancient history. It was set up around 150 years ago in 1870 as a satellite temple in Yokohama to the very famous Shinsho-ji Temple in Narita, near Narita airport. Apparently, this temple is famous as a holy ground for the warding off of bad omens and other kinds of evil influences. One can’t help wonder when looking at the historical timeline, how much the arrival of Commodore Perry and his black ships in Yokohama Bay influenced its hasty creation.

The buildings and statues here are not ‘ancient’ by any means, but they are quite old. This is a largish neighborhood-type temple where local business people and residence come to pray from time to time during the year. Indeed, you might be surprised at how completely surrounded by office buildings and apartment buildings the temple has become over the years. It is quite busy at the year-end and year beginning as people visit to celebrate and pray for the health and success of themselves and loved ones. They also come to buy the temple’s amulets and talismans, good luck charms that are said to be popular in the area.

Walk around the grounds and take note of the various building that house statues and alter. The temple has quite a few smaller outdoor statues as well, many of them dressed in red. Like many temples and shrines in Japan, the temple also sells food and drinks—depending on the season and whether or not a festival or ceremony is in progress.

The temple was under construction when Typhoon 18 hit the Kanto region in October 2014.

- quote
Powerful typhoon leaves 7 dead, 5 missing, in deluge of record rainfall
The 18th typhoon of the season blew itself out after racing across the Japanese archipelago, claiming seven lives, injuring 49 others and leaving five missing.

The typhoon, known as Phanfone outside Japan, made landfall in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, just after 8 a.m. on Oct. 6. It swept across central Japan, bringing heavy rains and triggering mass evacuations, before re-entering the Pacific Ocean off the east coast of Ibaraki Prefecture around 1 p.m.



A 25-year-old Buddhist monk was confirmed dead on Oct. 7 after he was found under a collapsed hall of the Naritasan Yokohama Betsuin temple in Yokohama's Naka Ward that was hit by a landslide on Oct. 6.
...
Yokohama recorded 310 mm in the 24 hours until 10:40 a.m. that day. Nine locations in Ibaraki, Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures were lashed with record rainfall in a 24-hour period.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



青森県青森市栄町1-4-24
1 Chome-4-24 Sakaemachi, Aomori Town

This temple is the sub-temple of Narita san in Chiba, main temple of Aomori.
The Chinese characters for the name 青森寺 usually read 青森 Aomori.

. Narita Fudo 成田不動尊 .
Temple Shinshooji 新勝寺 Shinsho-Ji

The main statue is the beneficial Fudo Myo-O 大聖不動明王.

In September 1888 the permission from the Head Temple in Narita was given to built a hall for Fudo Myo-O 青柳に不動堂 and hold rituals there.
The Hall was very popular and soon in 1908 the temple was build.
Pilgrims came from all over Northern Japan to pray here.
But during WW II, in the air raids of July 1945 most buildings were lost to fire.

All parishioners and friends of the temple collected money for the reconstruction, so in July 1957 a bigger and more beautiful Hall could be erected and the statue of Fudo Myo-O seated there.
Soon more buildings followed for the appeasement of local deities, 稲荷堂 Inari-Do for the Inari Fox Deity, 清瀧権現堂 Seiryu Gongen Do (for the Blue/Green Dragon Deity).

The most important festivals are the Setsubun Throwing of Beans in February and the Floating of Lanterns in July.

青森県つがる市木造吹原屏風山1-244
Byōbuzan-1-244 Kizukuri Fukihara, Tsugaru

The village of Kizukuri 木造町 in in the middle of the reclamation land of Tsugaru, but information about the founding of this temple is scarce.

It may have been founded by Kukai Kobo Daishi.
The 7th head pries lived about 600 years ago, his grave stone says.
There have been calamities due to flooding and other problems, but in the Meiji period the temple revived. The temple was then called
高野山九十九森寺

But in the Showa period, it became its name we know it today.

Since 1952, the temple is also called 西の高野山 弘法寺
the "Koya San in the West of Tsugaru".

o-yasumi Daishi お休み大師 Kobo Daishi taking a rest.

This is taken from the legend that Kobo Daishi on his pilgrimage in Shikoku once could not find a lodging for the night and had to rest below a bridge.
To our day the Henro pilgrims do not use their walking stick and carry it carefully when passing a bridge, so as not to awaken the sleeping Kukai.
There is a special small hall for this statue in the compound.

The prayer here is
ゆきなやむ 浮世の人を 渡さずば
一夜も十夜の 橋と思ほゆ

秋田県大館市上町6
6 Uwamachi, Ōdate-shi, Akita

Located in the Odate Plain of Akita.
The temple was supported by the Satake 佐竹 regents of Odate castle.
The Sakate samurai were called 小場 Koba before they changed their name around 1386.
The lord at that time, 小場大炊助義躬, had this one temple build outside the castle compound for the villagers to pray.

The main statue is Yakushi Nyorai, 薬師如来, Buddha of Healing and Medicine.
Other statues are
十二支守護佛 12 protector deities, Dainichi 大日 and Amida Nyorai 阿彌陀如来, 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O, the Bosatsu Kannon 観音, Kokuzo 虚空蔵, Monju 文殊, Fugen and 普賢 and Seishi 勢至菩薩. Most of them have their own halls now.
The statues are said to have been carved by the villagers themselves.

- quote
Ōdate (大館市 Ōdate-shi) is a city in Akita
Ōdate is located in the mountains of northern Akita Prefecture, with the Ou Mountains on the east and Aomori Prefecture to the north. The city is a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides. Part of the city is within the borders of the Towada-Hachimantai National Park.
Much of the city area is covered in forest. Due to its inland location, the city is noted for its heavy snowfall in winter.
- - - History
The area of present-day Ōdate was part of ancient Dewa Province, although it remained outside of the control of the Yamato court until well into the Heian period.
During the Edo period, the area came under the control of the Satake clan, who ruled the northern third of the province from Kubota Domain, and who maintained a secondary fortification at Ōdate Castle.
The castle was destroyed during the Boshin War. After the start of the Meiji period, the area became part of Kitaakita District, Akita Prefecture in 1878. During the Meiji period, the discovery of "black ore" (sphalerite and galena - a mixture of zinc, lead, gold, silver, and other precious metals), led to the development of numerous mines in the area, including the Hanaoka mine; however, the deposits were depleted by the mid-Showa period.
On June 20, 2005, the towns of Hinai and Tashiro (both from Kitaakita District) were merged into Ōdate, increasing its population (as of 2011) to 77,703 and the area of the city to 913.70 km2 (352.78 sq mi).

秋田県男鹿市船川港椿字家ノ後45
Ienoushiro-45 Funagawaminato tsubaki, Oga, Akita

There are three famous mountains in Oga, 本山 Honzan (Motoyama)、
真山 Shinzan (Mayama) and 毛無山 Kenashiyama, as Buddhist retreats for priests.

Jigaku Daishi 慈覚大師 is the founder of
赤神山日積寺永禅院 Akagamizan, Nisseki-Ji, Eizen-In
the first Buddhist center in the region. He is also related to the shrine
Akagami Jinja.

The fifth abbot at Eizen-In, Kakuun 覚運 Kaku-Un (953-1007, was a disciple of Ryoogen, Ryōgen 良源 Ryogen( 912 – 985), the chief abbot of Enryaku-Temple ( Enryaku-ji).

In 1392 the temple was more affiliated with Mount Koyasan, Ryuko-In 龍光院, through the 29th abbot 頼叶 Raika at temple 日積寺 Niseki-Ji.

During the Bakumatsu and early Meiji period, the temple and shrine were often in a crisis of deslolation, but have somehow survived to our day.

The temple has been known with many names in its long history:
自寂院,仙壽院,印象院、円月院,照光院、泉光院.
Now there is also temple 長楽寺 nearby.


- Chant of the temple
男鹿の島 めぐりて拝る 不動尊
寺庭(には)に 老樹(こぼく)の 椿花咲く



There is also a shrine, Akagami Jinja 赤神神社, close by.
五社堂 Goshado - Five little shrines overlooking the sea.
Legend knows that the Emperor Koobutei 孝武帝 Kobutei from China, also called Akagami (Red Deity) came here down from the sky.
Kobutei lived approximately from 372 - 396).
Jigaku Daishi founded the temple and shrine here, around 860.

Oga Peninsula 男鹿半島 (Oga Hanto)
Home to the renowned Namahage Legend, Oga Peninsula boasts spectacular views of the coastline.

Oga Peninsula, in the western part of Akita, juts out into the Japan Sea in the shape of an ax. Along its coastline are fantastic views of crags and boulders, and it is noted for its beautiful sunsets. It is also famous for a traditional event called "Namahage," at which time young people, disguised as ogres, visit houses to admonish lazy people, expel evil spirits, ward off disasters, and to bless people.

There are so many spots on the Oga Peninsula that you should not miss. The view at the Mt. Kampu Revolving Observatory at the base of the peninsula, where you can enjoy 360-degree panoramas of the Japan Sea and Lagoon Hachiro-gata, is simply stunning. And Godzilla Boulder, so named because of its shape: how can a tour of Japan not include a visit to this famous monster?
Add to these the west coast of Oga, with its long line of rude cliffs and rocks; Hachibodai, with the best views of Oga and clear out to the Ou Mountain Range; and of course, Nyudo-zaki Point, on the tip of the peninsula, with its spectacular view of the Japan Sea. A sightseeing boat leaves from nearby Oga Aquarium, and from it you can view the coastline, sprinkled with strange rocks and bizarre stones, magnificent sculptures that nature has created.

At Shinzan Shrine, the origin of Namahage, the Namahage Sedo Festival is held every winter. The Oga Shinzan Densho-kan (folklore museum) displays Namahage masks and holds Namahage stage shows, so you can get a sense of the Namahage atmosphere at any time of the year.
