Dōjō-ji

Mentioned on 
Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Dōjō-ji is a Buddhist temple that houses ancient picture scrolls depicting the tragic love story of Anchin and Kiyohime, featuring a dragon. The temple also has sacred statues and offers Tsurigane Manju for purchase or lunch. However, finding parking can be challenging. This popular destination attracts many visitors during cherry blossom season and provides a comfortable atmosphere for sightseeing.
Visited for the cherry blossom. Nice view, quite and peaceful in weekday. ¥500 car park is a little bit expensive.

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot right in front of the temple. From there, the street of Souvenir Yasan (Tsurigan Manju) is the approach. 😄 Shop Anchin can also eat ❗️ If you climb the stairs that are a little high, there is a gate and you will be greeted by Nio ☀️ After passing through the gate, there is a trace of a bell placed on the right side and Kiyohimezuka (trees are planted). You can see the temple chapel in front of you. The hanging cherry blossoms are beautiful in spring The voice of a cicada echoes in the summer Children can also enjoy the signboards that solve the mystery of Dojoji Temple. Keeping the old atmosphere, think about it long ago ... There is a breeze. (Original) 有駐車場が、お寺のすぐ前にあります。 そこからお土産やさん(釣り鐘まんじゅう)の通りが参道になっています。😄 お店 あんちん さんは食事も出来ます❗️ 少し高さのある階段を登ると、門があり仁王さまの出迎えです☀️ 門をくぐり右側に釣り鐘置いたの跡と、清姫塚(樹木が植えられている)があり 正面にお寺の拝堂が見えます。 春は垂れ桜がきれいです 夏はセミの声が響き 道場寺の謎解きの看板が設置されていて子供さんも楽しめます。 昔の風情のそのままで、遠い昔に想いを馳せて…。風流があります。

(Translated by Google) Visited around noon on Sunday, March 27. There were many cherry blossom viewing visitors. I should have brought my lunch ... It was almost in full bloom and the weather was good and it was very comfortable. Below you can buy Tsurigane Manju or have lunch. However, finding a vacant parking lot is a difficult task. (Original) 3月27日(日)お昼頃訪問。 沢山の花見客がおられました。 弁当を持って来れば良かった…。 ほぼ満開状態で天気も良く非常に気持ち良かったです。 下では釣鐘饅頭が買えたり、ランチすることも出来ます。 但し空いている駐車場を探すのは一苦労です。

(Translated by Google) Founded in 701, this temple of the Tendai sect is the oldest existing temple in Wakayama Prefecture. There are many national treasures and important cultural properties such as the Senju Kannon, the main hall, the Niomon gate, and the three-storied pagoda. In addition, there were many things to see, such as the Seven Wonders of Dojoji Temple. It was a very nice temple with taste and taste! (Original) 大宝元年(701年)創建とされている天台宗のお寺で、和歌山県に現存する最古の寺院です。 千手観音・本堂・仁王門・三重塔など、多くの国宝や重要文化財等貴重なものがあります。 また、道成寺の七不思議といったものもあり、見どころ多数ありました。 趣と風情のあるとてもいいお寺でした!

(Translated by Google) Admission fee ¥700 (Treasure Hall) Goshuin stamp ¥300 (there is a place to write it, so you can basically write it on the spot) I came to this place as a pilgrimage to a sacred place, More Like a Flower than a Flower. The main attraction is the Treasure Hall, but it was rather scary because there were so many national treasures and important monuments lined up. I think it's a must-see for those who love temples and Buddhist statues. I was lucky because I was able to see the main shrine for free only in the fall. (Original) 入館料¥700(宝物殿) 御朱印¥300(書き置きあり、基本その場で書いていただけます) 花よりも花の如く聖地巡礼を兼ねて来訪いたしました。 目玉の宝物殿ですが、国宝や重文がズラズラ並んでて逆に怖かったですw お寺や仏像好きにはたまらないのでは無いでしょうか。 秋限定で本殿無料観覧できたのでラッキーでした。

(Translated by Google) Parking: About 30 paid spaces (about 5 free parking spaces available at the nearest roadside station) Admission fee: Free Time required: about 20 minutes This temple is famous for the legend of Anchin and Kiyohime. The Anchin Kiyohime Legend is a legend related to Kishu Dojoji Temple. The story revolves around Kiyohime, who is betrayed by Anchin, a monk she has feelings for, and turns into a snake, chases him across the Hidaka River, and burns Anchin and his bell to death at Dojoji Temple. There is a small approach to the shrine where there is a shop. There is a paid parking lot nearby, but the roadside station is free, so if there is space, I recommend that. (Original) 駐車場:有料30台程度(最寄りの道の駅に無料駐車場あり5台程度) 拝観料:無料 所要時間:20分程度 安珍・清姫伝説で有名なお寺です 安珍・清姫伝説(あんちんきよひめでんせつ)とは、紀州道成寺にまつわる伝説のこと。思いを寄せた僧の安珍に裏切られた清姫が蛇に変化して日高川を渡って追跡し、道成寺で鐘ごと安珍を焼き殺すことを内容としている。 小さいながらもお店がある参道があります 近くに有料駐車場がありますが、道の駅が無料なので空いていたらそちらのほうがオススメです

(Translated by Google) The temple is famous for Anchin Kiyohime's illustrated sermons, but there is also a legend about Kaminagahime related to its founding. I went when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the main hall was open to the public, so I was able to visit the shrine in full. I remember hearing the sermon inside the main hall when I visited with my grandparents for the first time. Now you can listen to it at Hobutsu-den. It was very unique and interesting. (Original) 安珍清姫の絵解き説法で有名なお寺ですが創建にまつわるかみなが姫の伝説もあります。 桜が満開の時に行きましたが、ちょうど本堂が開放されていてグルっとお参りさせていただきました。 初めて祖父母とお参りした時は本堂の中で説法を聞いた事を思い出しました。 今は宝仏殿で聞くことができます。とてもユニークで面白かった。

(Translated by Google) The main hall was open to the public for free for a limited time. In 2024, cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual nationwide, and while there were still many buds, some cherry blossoms were in full bloom, giving us the feeling that spring had arrived. Perhaps because of that, there were a lot of people and it was very crowded. This is a temple that Emperor Monmu's wife, Princess Miyako, asked Emperor Monmu to build in her hometown. A very atmospheric staircase. The principal image, Senju Kanzeon Bodhisattva, is a national treasure. There are also places where Anchin and hanging bells are said to be buried. There was also a signboard for the Seven Wonders of Dojoji Temple, making it a mysterious and attractive place. On this day, I happened to learn about a project called Cherry Blossoms, Mai, and Dojoji organized by the Hidaka Executive Committee, and I was able to purchase a same-day ticket for 500 yen per adult to see it starting at 1:00 p.m. The performance of Yamamura-style Jiuta dance and Hidaka High School's Koto music club was very worth seeing and wonderful, and the presentation of the traditional performing arts class had cute little children smiling, and I was moved by how traditions are being preserved. have done. (Original) 期間限定で本堂が無料で公開されていました。 2024年は全国的に例年よりサクラの開花が遅く、まだツボミが多い中で満開のサクラもあって春の訪れを感じる事ができました。そのせいか人も多く大賑わいでした。 文武天皇の妻の宮子姫が故郷に、文武天皇にお願いして建ててもらったというお寺。 とても雰囲気のある階段。 ご本尊の千手観世音菩薩は国宝。 安珍と釣鐘が埋められていると伝わる場所などもあり。道成寺の七不思議の看板もあって、謎めいた魅力的な場所になっていました。 この日はたまたま日高実行委員会主催の桜、舞、道成寺という企画を現地で知り、昼一時からの当日チケット大人一枚500円を購入して見る事が出来ました。山村流の地唄舞や日高高等学校の箏曲部の演奏は、とても見応えがあって素晴らしく、そして伝統芸能教室の発表会は可愛らしい小さなお子さん達が微笑ましく、こうして伝統が守られていくんだなぁと感動してしまいました。

From beautiful and splendid temples in Kyoto, Nara, etc. The simple Dojo-ji Temple consists of the first 60 steps and above. I could feel the ancient atmosphere from the Niomon gate.

(Translated by Google) I went to see the cherry blossoms. As of April 5th, it feels like it's already 2.3% from full bloom. I came in because I could enter the inside of the temple, but you usually have to pay to enter, right???? I heard that parking is free if you park at the back, but I was a little confused so I'll write about it. Go to the front, turn left in front of Anchin, and you can park your car by climbing up the road that says bus parking on the right. (Original) 桜を見に行きました。4月5日既に満開から2.3割り散ってる感じ。お堂?の中が入れたので入って来ましたが、これ普段入るのにお金いるんだよね???? 駐車場は裏に置けばただだよ、と聞いたのですが、少し迷ったので書いてみます。 正面まで行きあんちんの手前を左に進むと右側にバス駐車場と書いている登って行く道を登ると車置けます。

(Translated by Google) The oldest temple in Kishu, said to have been founded in the Taiho era, and famous for the legend of Anchin Kiyohime. This temple is located on a stone staircase just a short walk from JR Dojoji Station and has many important cultural properties, including the national treasure Senju Kannon Sanzon statue. The standing statue of Senju Kannon, a national treasure, located in the Treasure Hall (700 yen) was originally located in the main hall (Important Cultural Property).The main hall still houses another Senju Kannon (Important Cultural Property: Hidden Buddha); The national treasure Buddha facing south and the secret Buddha facing north were placed back to back. The Senju Kannon, a national treasure, has a rare combination of Nikko and Moonlight Bodhisattvas as side attendants. Normally, Nikko and Moonlight Bosatsu are the side attendants of Yakushi Tathagata, but I thought it was made into a triad statue in a later era, but it was created by the same era. , and a common production technique is recognized for the three statues, so it seems that this combination was used from the beginning.According to the commentator, there is no other example in Japan, but it is the same in cave temples in western China. There is a combination, and since it is a temple with a long history, there may have been some exchanges via the Silk Road. Along with visiting the treasure hall, you can also listen to Anchin Kiyohime's illustrated sermon, a tragic tale in which love turns into resentment due to betrayal, leading to the death of both men and women.The illustrated scroll used in the sermon was created by the first generation in the 16th century. It is said that the illustrated method has been given for at least 500 years (currently a copy, but the original is designated as an Important Cultural Property and is being deposited at the Wakayama Prefectural Museum). (Original) 創建は大宝年間に遡るとされている紀州きっての古刹、安珍清姫伝説でも有名 JR道成寺駅から歩いてすぐの石段上にある寺院、国宝の千手観音三尊立像を始め多くの重要文化財を有しています 宝物殿(700円)にある国宝の千手観音立像は元々、本堂(重文)にあったもの、本堂には現在も、もう一体の千手観音(重文:秘仏)が安置されており、かつては南向きの国宝仏と北向きの秘仏が背中合わせになっていました 国宝の千手観音は脇侍が日光・月光菩薩という珍しい組合せ、通常日光・月光菩薩は薬師如来の脇侍、あとの時代になって三尊像にしたのかなと思ったら、同時代の作で、かつ三像に共通する制作技法が認められる事から、当初からこの組み合わせであったみたい、解説の僧侶の方によると、日本には他に例は無いが、中国西域の石窟寺院には同じ組合せがあるとの事、長い歴史を誇るお寺なので、シルクロードを経由した交流もあったのかもしれません 宝物殿拝観と併せて、安珍清姫の絵解き説法を聞くことが出来ます、愛情が、裏切りにより、怨嗟へと変わり男女とも死を迎える悲劇となる説話、説法に使う絵巻物は初代が16世紀に描かれたものだそうで、少なくとも500年以上は絵解き説法が続けられています(現在は模本、原本は重文となり和歌山県立博物館へ寄託中)

Points of Interest & Landmarks
(Translated by Google) This is a station highly praised by actor Seiji Rokkaku, who is well-known among railway fans. When I visited this station on a certain TV program, "Local feel! Everything is here!" That's what he said. The simple parking lot that marks the terminal station, the small station building that shows its age, the station name sign that is dirty in a good way, the street in front of the station that is not wide at all, the small railroad crossing, etc., it is certainly a station full of local atmosphere. If you like it, you can spend a lot of time just watching it at the station. Also, although this station is the terminal station, there are still remains of the abandoned rail line beyond the station, and it is possible to take a short walk by following this rail line. It's full of active local stations, abandoned railway tracks, an indescribable atmosphere, and nostalgic charm. (Original) 鉄道ファンでもお馴染み俳優六角精児さん絶賛の駅です。 某テレビ番組でこの駅に訪れた際、 「ローカル感満載!すべてが揃っている!」 とのこと。 終着駅を示す簡素な車止め、年季を感じる小さな駅舎、良い意味で薄汚れた駅名標、決して広くはない駅前通りと小さな踏切、等々、なるほど確かにローカル情緒溢れる味わい深い駅です。好きな方なら駅だけでもずっと見ていられるでしょう。 また、この駅は終着駅ですが、かつてあった路線、廃線跡レールが駅の先にまだ残っており、このレールを辿ってちょっとした散策も可能です。現役のローカル駅、さらには廃線跡、何とも言えない情緒、ノスタルジックな魅力満載です。

(Translated by Google) I think your evaluation will be completely different depending on whether you like trains or not. It doesn't look like a terminal station and is an unmanned station. The station building is also very tired. If you are aiming for that, I think you will have a good experience. There is an abandoned railway line that stretches beyond this station, so I actually wanted to go see it too, but due to time constraints, I had to postpone it for another time.

Hidakagobo

Buddhist temple

Sacred & Religious Sites
Honganji Hidakabetsuin is an ancient Buddhist temple situated in the city of Gobo, Jinaicho. It has been developed over centuries and includes a kindergarten along with more than 400 ginkgo trees surrounding it. The area around the temple is full of history and gives off an aesthetic feel, making it a wonderful place to visit.
(Translated by Google) There are several places where Betsuin and Gobo are used as place names within cities, wards, towns and villages, but this is probably the only place in the world where they are used as names of cities, wards, towns and villages. It is a separate temple of Honganji Temple, the Honganji school from which it originated. When I asked a Betsuin staff member, I was told that they are often closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. I think it depends on the Betsuin's convenience, so if you are planning to visit, it may be a good idea to inquire in advance a few days in advance. It is said that before the branch temple was moved here, it was located in Motomachi (it is unknown where the Gobo was located) and Yoshiwara across the river to the west (there is now a temple of the Tendai sect). For meals, I recommend Soba Nakagawa, which is about 70 meters north (recommended by a Betsuin staff member). (Original) 別院や御坊が市区町村内の地名になることはいくつかありますが、市区町村名になるのはおそらく世界でもここだけかと。その由来となった本願寺派本願寺の別院です。 別院職員さんに伺ったところ、土日祝日は閉めていることが多いそうです。別院さんの都合もある事と思いますので、お参りの予定のときは数日前までには予め問合せておくといいのかもしれません。 尚、ここに別院が移る前は元町(御坊がどこにあったかは未確認)や川を西に渡った吉原(今は天台宗のお寺があります)にあったそうです。 お食事は70メートルほど北にある蕎麦のなかがわさんをおすすめします(別院職員さんからおすすめされました)。

In 1595, thanks to the efforts of Igamokami Satake, a senior retainer of the Asano family, the lord of Kii Province, the wilderness of Sonoura and Shimamura was opened up, the Sonobosha was relocated, and the Hidakabosha was built. This is the current Hidaka Betsuin. Since then, it has been called "Gobo-san," which is the origin of the name Gobo City. The current main hall was rebuilt in 1825, and in 1877 it received the title of Honganji Hidaka Betsuin from the main temple and remains in use today. Additionally, within the precincts stands a gigantic ginkgo tree that is over 400 years old and has been designated as a natural monument by the prefecture, and there is also a Gobo kindergarten. (Original) 天文9年(1540年)に亀山城主であった湯川直光によって吉原(現美浜町吉原)に建立。これが吉原坊舎と称された。後の天正13年(1585年)に豊臣秀吉の進攻によって吉原坊舎は焼かれ、湯川一族は本尊を持って熊野に逃れるが翌年には日高に戻り薗浦の椿原に仮堂「薗坊舎」を建てた。 文禄4年(1595年)紀伊国主浅野家重臣・佐竹伊賀守の尽力によって薗浦と島村の荒野を開き、薗坊舎を移し日高坊舎を建立した。これが現在の日高別院である。以来「御坊さん」と呼ばれ、御坊市の名の起源となりました。文政8年(1825年)に現在の本堂が再建され、1877年(明治10年)本山より本願寺日高別院の称号をうけ現在に及んでいる。 また、境内には県の天然記念物に指定された樹齢400年あまりのイチョウの巨木がそびえており、御坊幼稚園も併設されています。

(Translated by Google) 2023.12.24 am I was a victim of pickpocketing here. I had more cash than usual because I was on a Christmas family trip and a fishing trip. What was supposed to be a fun fishing trip with my wife and son who is in elementary school suddenly changed and turned into a terrible trip. Although we cannot confirm the identity of the culprit, we would like to mention him as a likely suspect. I was approached by two men, one middle-aged and one elderly, who kindly talked to me about fishing and gave me some guidance. The two men were talking to each other as if to switch places, and we didn't have time to turn to the car. They did not have any fishing equipment with them and seemed to have only talked about fishing before returning home. Afterwards, around 150,000 to 200,000 yen in cash was stolen from the wallet in the bag that was left behind while driving. He was fishing next to a car with the back door open, and since he was there with his family, I think he was less cautious and was able to get caught. I would like to warn other anglers and their families so that they do not encounter the same kind of damage that I did again. Securing a place where you can fish safely, Including manners as a fisherman, I sincerely hope that everyone has a good time. Please note that we have filed a damage report. If you have any useful information, we would appreciate it if you could contact us. (Original) 2023.12.24午前 ここでスリの被害に遭いました。 クリスマスの家族旅行と釣り紀行を兼ねていたため普段よりも多くの現金を持っていました。 家内と小学生の息子と楽しいはずの釣りになる予定が一変、最悪の旅行になってしましました。 犯人の断定は出来ませんが、可能性の高い人物として挙げさせて頂きます。 中年と初老の男性二人組に話しかけられ、親切に釣りの話や指南をしてくれました。 入れ替わるように男性二人組は話しかけて、私達は車の方を向く暇はありません。 本人達は釣り用具を持ち合わせておらず釣りの話のみで帰った様子。 その後運転的に置いていたカバンの中のサイフから、現金15万〜20万円近くがスられており被害に遭いました。 車の横付けでバックドアを開いて釣りをしており、家族で来ていたので警戒心が薄れていたためカモられたのだろうと思います。 他の釣人や家族が、二度と私の様な被害に遭遇しないよう注意喚起致します。 安心して釣りが出来る場所の確保、 釣人としてのマナーも含め、 皆が良い時間を過ごせる事を心より願っております。 なお、被害届は出しております。 有力な情報がありましたら、ご連絡頂けると幸いです。
