[2025 Izunokuni Attraction] Travel Guide for Ganjojuin Temple (Updated May)

Ganjojuin Temple was built in 1189 (Bun'ji 5) by Hojo Tokimasa, the father-in-law of Minamoto no Yoritomo, to pray for his conquest of the Oshu Fujiwara clan. You can also visit (for a fee) and see the wooden statues of "Amitabha Buddha Seated Statue," "Acala and Two Children Standing Statues," and "Bishamonten Standing Statue." It is said to have been created by Unkei at the request of Hojo Tokimasa, and we were able to hear the story of how a nameplate was found inside the statue. The more you look at the statues, the more you sigh, and your soul is cleansed! If you're lucky, you might even meet Rocky, the mascot's Akita dog! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Ganjojuin Temple 🚉Nirayama Station →🚶‍♀️17-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Ganjojuin Temple #Shrines and Temples #Temples and Temples #Shizuoka Trip #Shizuoka Tourism

15 minutes walk from the Taiga Drama Museum. Ganjojuin Temple was built by Hojo Tokimasa, the father of Hojo Yoshitoki, one of the protagonists of the 13 Lords of Kamakura, to pray for victory in the conquest of the Oshu Fujiwara clan by Minamoto no Yoritomo. Rocky, the mascot dog, welcomes you in front of the main hall. 🐶 This is the first time I've seen a real Akita dog! I didn't know it was so big! It's very well behaved and stays quiet even when you stroke its head. In the precincts, there is the grave of Hojo Tokimasa, as well as the sacred tree where Minamoto no Yoritomo and Hojo Masako are said to have met. When you come to the Taiga Drama Museum, be sure to stop by here as well. 📍83-1 Teraya, Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture #history #Izutrip #trip2022
