Shosan-ji Temple

Quite a trek to get to, not a great deal there

Worth a visit, but don't expect there to be much there. The temple, while pretty enough, is spoiled a little by the presence of vending machines and signs and whatnot. Quite a trek up through the moun...

It's a magnificent temple, but the response of the sutra office is even more "big". Even if I greeted him, he didn't reply and was asked with only a word, "How many people? How many books? Car?" "It's one book for two people. I came by car," he answered politely, and only said "1,000 yen". And after the sutra, I returned only the red stamp book, so when I asked a little frustrated, "What is your appearance?", I was angry with a loud voice, "I'll put it out now!" I laughed unexpectedly.

I am one of the predecessors, but since the beginning of the pilgrimage, the temple here has been one of the so-called "heads" high, arrogant, and unfavorable temples. Is the Sutra Indai ５００ yen without permission, or １０００ yen for the hanging shaft? What are you lost? If you want to do something different from other subscribed temples, it seems that it has healed now, but it is a holiday in the daytime without permission, or a pilgrimage and a sacred place ...

I went by rental car, but until I arrived at the temple on the hillside, it was a narrow road and there were some places where it was difficult to separate. Also, there was a little distance from the parking lot to the mountain gate, and I had to move on foot, but I was surprised at the temperature difference with the foot of the road with snow remaining on the side of the road. When I went down the mountain gate where the statue of Kobo Daishi stood in the foreground and proceeded to the precincts, the main hall stood in front of me and Daishido stood on my right. By the way, the red stamp of the temple was 500 yen, which was different from most temples.
