#aprilblooms Located in Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture, the temple was founded in 704, located on the slopes of Mt. Narigatake, overlooking the scenic spot Amanohashidate. The name of the temple "Narisau" means "wish will come true". The origin is from the episode that the principal image, the Holy Kannon Bodhisattva, transformed into a deer and saved a hungry monk. For this reason, it is also called "Substitute Kannon", and it is said that if you visit, both body and mind will be beautiful, and it is also known as "Beauty Kannon".

Nariai-ji Temple is about a 15-20 minute drive from Amanohashidate! If you go further up from there, you will come to a panoramic observation deck. The view from here is truly spectacular!!! It was so beautiful that it took my breath away. You can see not only Amanohashidate, but also Ine. If you have come all the way here, be sure to stop by here in addition to Amanohashidate!! [Tourist Points] ------------ ○Nariai-ji Temple is not just a temple, it is also highly recommended! →At Nariai-ji Temple, you can enter the temple for free, which is usually difficult to enter. Photography is prohibited, so I don't have any photos, but seeing the Buddha up close was impressive. The temple itself was very tasteful and very nice. [Caution] ○If you get motion sickness easily, we recommend taking motion sickness medication →It's not that far from Amanohashidate, but you have to climb a pretty steep path and the road is bumpy along the way, so if you get motion sickness easily, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication! #Nariaiji #Nariaijiviewpoint #Miyazu #Kyoto #0yentrip
