[Fukushima] The temple where Akabeko originated, "Fukuman Kokuzo Bosatsu Enzoji Temple"

A temple with a "cow statue" that brings happiness, which is also the origin of the Aizu folk craft "Akabeko" 🍀⁡ ⁡ ⁡ The origin of this temple, which has many legends such as red cows helping with difficult temple construction, dates back 1,200 years ago ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ When Kobo Daishi received a sacred tree from a high priest in the Tang Dynasty, he divided the tree into three pieces and threw them into the sea after returning to Japan ⁡ ⁡ It is said that it washed up in Ibaraki, Chiba, and here in Yanaizu 💡⁡ ⁡ ⁡ When Daishi heard the news of the sacred tree washing ashore, he carved a Kokuzo Bodhisattva from the tree, ⁡ It seems that Tokuichi Daishi founded Enzoji Temple✊⁡ ⁡ ⁡ When you visit, you will see that it is located on a steep cliff, but⁡ ⁡ The view of Zuikoji Bridge (red bridge) and Tadami River from the temple grounds on a clear day is truly spectacular❗⁡ ⁡ ⁡ It is a popular temple not only during the snowy season, but also during the new green season and autumn leaves season, so⁡ ⁡ Please be sure to go and see it🎵⁡ ⁡ ⁡ ***[Details]****************************⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡ ⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡ ⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡【Fukuman Kokuzo Bosatsu Enzoji Temple]⁡⁡⁡ ⁡⁡⁡ ◼️Address:⁡176 Yanagitsuderaiemachi-ko, Yanagitsu-machi, Kawanuma-gun, Fukushima Prefecture⁡ ◼️Phone number:⁡0241-42-2002⁡ ⁡⁡⁡ ◼️Opening hours:⁡⁡ Summer (4/1-11/30) 6:30-17:00⁡ Winter (12/1-3/31) 7:00-16:30⁡ ⁡ ◼️Closed days:⁡None⁡⁡ ⁡⁡⁡ ◼️Admission fee:⁡None⁡⁡ ⁡⁡⁡⁡ ◼️Estimated viewing time:15 minutes or more⁡ #domestictrip #fukushima #fukushimatourism #snowscenery #solotravel
