    Kōbō Daishi built this temple in memory of his Chinese master Keika (Ch. Hui-kuo), the 7th Patriarch of Ch'ing-lung Temple in Ch'ang-an, the capital of T'ang China. Before leaving China to return home, Kōbō Daishi threw a pointed Vajra (Tokko) in the direction of Japan and temple legends say that it landed in the branches of a pine tree in the rear of the present temple.

    The honzon, also carved by Kōbō Daishi, is venerated as the guardian of fishermen and is commonly called the Dragon Fudō. Shōryūji is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese temple of Ch'ing-lung Si' of Ch'ang-an.

    Henro were, until 1975, forced to use a small ferry to reach the temple, but a bridge now leads you directly to the temple. The temple owns a classical seated statue of Aizen Myōō (Angry Faced Deity).

    Frederick Starr says that the Okunoin is 6 cho from the hondō. The remains of Emperor Hanayama are there. He had been exiled here by Fujiwara Kaneye and his son and was buried here when he died.

ABOUT STORY

The 36th temple is Shōryū-ji.

The distance from the previous temple (37th) is 58.5km.

 

The entrance to Shōryū-ji. The gate nestled in the forest creates an atmosphere like an entrance to the spirit world.

 

As I climbed the stairs, I saw a beautiful red triple tower.

 

To reach the main hall, climb the steep stairs that are likely to have more than 100 steps.

 

After climbing the stairs, I saw the main hall of Shōryū-ji. Fudō Myōō is enshrined here.

 

Next, at the hall with an enshrined statue of Kobo Daishi, he recites the Heart Sutra.

As always, I pray for the safety of my family and the peace and health of the world.

 

On the way to this temple, there was a hotel inspired by the Greek island of Santorini.

 

I also want to come and stay at a time other than the pilgrimage.
