Negoro-ji Temple

Reviewed By Jacqui M - Osaka, Japan

This is a gem of a place off the beaten track but really surprisingly easy to access by car. It's a huge temple complex and grounds with a small creek running through it. There are several thousand trees many of them cherry blossoms so it would look spectacular in spring. Right now I am looking forward to seeing the leaves changing next month (November I would guess would be a good time). The temple buildings and Gardens are immaculate.
It has a large free car park. Toilets. Possibly a souvenir shop though it was closed on Saturday. Right now they are doing some renovations so some areas were closed. Still it was peaceful to stroll around the tree-lined paths. A few people had bento lunches on the park benches.
It's free to walk around. If you want to get closer to the temple there is a nominal fee of perhaps about 500 yen.

Tama Museum Kishi Station

Reviewed By Karen L - Hong Kong, China

If you are a cat-lover, you need to visit this station. It was Tama the first when I was there in Feb 2015. Unfortunately I missed the duty hours so I saw her sleeping in her cozy place. A few months later she died. I was happy that I could get a chance to see her before she died. Now it is Tama the second on duty. She attracts many visitors each year so be prepared that this station will be full of people.

大阪・和歌山の府県境は山岳地帯なので峠道が各所にあります。
大阪府泉南市と和歌山県岩出市を結ぶ風吹峠は大阪府と和歌山市を結ぶ孝子峠や雄ノ山峠と並んで交通量の多い峠。
そんな風吹峠にある道の駅がこちら。

Kokawadera Temple

Reviewed By Jacqui M - Osaka, Japan

We stumbled upon this huge temple complex in August. It was almost deserted being so hot and a weekday. But we were able to wander around freely and explore to our hearts content. What struck me most was how carefully preserved all the buildings and Gardens are, how big the whole place is and that people appear to live inside. It was very cool and I plan to return.
We parked about 500m down the road. It cost 500 yen by way of a donation left in the honesty box. I recommend driving since it's quite far off the beaten track. the roads are narrow as you approach but people are courteous.
The cafe / restaurant at the entrance is very basic and I don't think many tourists go there (from abroad) so Japanese maybe helpful, but they were friendly and talkative.
I'm not sure where the train is but I think it's walkable from the station.

根来寺の歴史や岩出市の歴史が常設展示されています。無料でした。秀吉のねたみとそねみにより根来一帯は大塔と大師堂を残して全て焼き払われましたが、報いはすぐに豊臣家に跳ね返り、子供と妻が大阪城で焼かれる羽目になりましたね。やはり放火や殺人は、それも邪な考えでのものは神仏は見逃しませんでしたね。信長も同様に本能寺で焼かれたし・・・悪いことは出来ないですよ、と云う戒めの歴史も良く解る資料館でした。

根来寺の中核部である山上の大塔や大伝法堂から、大門までは800mも離れており、往時には壮大な寺院群であったことを偲ばせてくれます。現在の大門は江戸末期に再建されたものですが、桁行五間・梁間二間という大規模門で、往時の大寺院の表門にふさわしい姿を見せてくれます。大門前には駐車場もあります。
