Mayaji Temple

Juro of the seven lucky gods of Kasahara

Original Text

I went around the Seven Lucky Gods of Kashihara in hopes of the end of the corona on New Year's Day, but started from this Maya Temple, a Jurojin. This temple is a temple of the Nichiren sect that enshrines Mrs. Maya, the mother of Shaka. The statue of Mrs. Maya, a wooden statue built in 1678, is famous, but it is usually enshrined in Maya Do hall, so it cannot be seen today. Maya-do was built around 1840, but the main hall is said to have been rebuilt in 1978. Although it reads "Mayaji", the name is fashionable.

it's a temple of the nichiren sect.

Jurojin is enshrined in one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Kashihara. The statue of Mrs. Maya is a designated cultural property in Shinagawa Ward. It is a relatively new temple. If you look closely, you were wearing a cotton hat. I felt that it was a temple of the Nichiren sect.

It is the guardian of the village. It is on a hill and I don't think it will be in a very good category as a temple. Neighbors 々 came to visit the first visit.

Mayaji

Original Text

It is a temple that is loved locally called "Mayadera", but it seems to be read as "Mayaji" instead of officially pronounced "Mayadera". It is a community-based temple.

A temple rooted in the area

Original Text

There is also a fairly large graveyard behind the temple, which makes it feel like it is rooted in the area. The building is strangely modern, so it lacks the atmosphere.
