[Shizuoka Prefecture] Shuzenji Temple, a temple with 1,200 years of history located in Izu's oldest hot spring area

Shuzenji Temple is located in Nakaizu, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is the inner sanctum of Izu and the oldest hot spring resort on the Izu Peninsula, where many famous writers, including Natsume Soseki, have stayed. Here, we visit Shuzenji Temple, which is the origin of the temple's fame. Its official name is Fukuchiyama Shuzen Mananzenji Temple. It was founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai, the founder of Shingon Buddhism. It is also known as the stage for the tragedy of the Genji clan during the Kamakura period, and after the Meiji Restoration, many famous writers and artists frequented the temple, making it a place that has been closely linked to history throughout the ages. The adjacent Treasure Hall displays many temple treasures that tell the story of the temple's long history, and remnants of its history of about 1,200 years remain! There are a wide variety of goshuin stamps, from seasonal designs to designs created by Mizuguchi Chiharu, a paper cutting artist from Shuzenji...✨ I had a hard time deciding, but since it's moon-viewing season, I chose a goshuin stamp with a large full moon and Jizo statue! It's a lovely goshuin stamp with a cute design that perfectly matches the seasonal feel😌 We were blessed with good weather, so it was a great day to visit the temple👌 ※Temples in hot spring areas have a certain charm and romance, don't they~ -—————————————— [Access🚃🚌] Get off at the last stop on the Izu Hakone Railway Sunzu Line, "Shuzenji Station" From Shuzenji Station Take the Tokai Bus bound for Shuzenji Onsen for about 10 minutes. *Get off at the last stop, Shuzenji Onsen Station.
