Amabiki Kannon

Reviewed By ART196

Rakuhōji is a Shingon Sect temple complex with many prefectural level important cultural properties and one national level important cultural property, the titular Kannon, an eight-armed wooden statue. For me the temple's highlight is the large tahōtō stupa, erected in 1853. Other interesting structures are the niōmon (Edo Period), a small but ornate shrine structure (1727), a yakuimon, and the hondō (main hall), dating to the Azuchi-Momoyama Period. The temple is home to many varieties of fowl: cockerels, different breeds of ducks, and peacocks. There were two types of peafowl present: the Indian peafowl, which is the type most commonly encountered in Britain, and a type with a yellow face I've since identified as the green peafowl originating from Indochina. Mostly the birds just go wherever they want. One peacock we encountered fanned his plumage and squawked noisily, blocking our path. It was quite amusing. A raised walkway leads between the monks' quarters and the tahōtō. At one point we observed a queer custom: priests walked along the elevated corridor in thick purple clogs, making for a very loud procession heard throughout the temple. The temple also possesses several sekitō (stone pagodas), ishigaki (stone piled platforms) and impressive views of the surrounding landscape.

Shinjo-ji Temple

A divorce shrine, the divorce god of the harvest, a temple giving refuge to soon-to-be divorced women and a divorce temple. I stop a bad relationship and make the good match. The bad, it's performed, when it's cut, the good match is the temple where tied prayer is done. Additionally a god of a matchmaking and a god of a good match knot are also enshrined. The person who would like to increase money will wash money with sacred water in money wash Benten where it's in a precinct and pray.
