In-depth attractive attractions Attractive attractions ①-Eihoji Temple (Eihoji Temple)
"Koraikeizan Eihoji" is a national treasure-level temple located in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture. Its Kannon Hall and Kaizan Hall are historical sites left over from the Kamakura/Nanboku-cho period. It is said that the Eihoji Garden was created by Yumesou Sasuseki, a representative Zen Buddhist monk in the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. In addition to this garden, Yumesou Kokushi also participated in the construction of Kyoto's World Heritage "Tenryuji" and "Saihoji", both of which are also national cultural properties. The scenery of the Eihoji Garden is comparable to that of Tenryuji and Saihoin, and you can enjoy the beauty of the harmony between the building and the natural environment.
About the history of Eihoji Temple. In 1313 (Showa 2), when he was 39 years old, Yumesou Sasuke accepted the invitation of Mino warlord Toki Yoshimasa and visited Tajimi for the first time. He found that the stream along the Toki River was very similar to the Tiger Creek of Lushan Mountain in China, so he named it Tiger Creek Mountain and built an ancient temple named after the mountain. The following year, he built the National Treasure Kannon Hall that has been preserved to this day. The beautiful garden of Tiger Creek Mountain Eihoji Temple, which is designated as a national scenic spot, is also a popular tourist spot for viewing autumn leaves in autumn. The golden light of the fiery red maple trees and 700-year-old ginkgo trees surrounding the pond makes people linger in it.
The autumn leaves of Eihoji Temple were selected as one of the 33 best autumn leaves in Hida Mino, and the best viewing period is from mid-November to late November.
Special note: The landscape during the red maple leaf season is a natural phenomenon affected by various factors such as the climate and temperature of that year. The landscape in the photo of this product is a schematic diagram and is not the scenery at the time of travel. All scenery is subject to actual local conditions.
Fascinating spot ② - Magome (Nakasendo)
The Nakasendo was one of the five main roads in Japan during the Edo period. Magome-juku is located in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan (formerly Yamaguchi Village, Kiso County, Nagano Prefecture, but was incorporated into Gifu Prefecture in the merger of the two prefectures in February 2005). It is the remains of an ancient Japanese post station and the 43rd of the 96 post stations on the way from Edo (Tokyo) to Kyo (Kyoto). There were fires in 1895 and 1915, and the current buildings are restored after the disaster. The old street buildings beside the stone ramp have mostly maintained their original appearance in the Edo period and are very popular with tourists. Among them, the Fujimura Memorial Hall, which was converted from the main building of the post station, is the most famous.
In Magome-juku, visitors can stroll along the ancient road and visit the adjacent specialty cafes and local souvenir shops while enjoying local senbei or specialty snacks such as OYAKI and the local gourmet Gohei mochi of Nakatsugawa. At the other end of Magome-juku Street, Magome Miharadai offers a view of the beautiful natural scenery headed by Mt. Ena.
Attractive attraction ③-Ryujin no Taki Waterfall
Ryujin Falls is located in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture. It is one of the 50 most famous waterfalls in Gifu Prefecture. It is one of the many waterfalls formed by the rapids of the Kawakami River and the Kiso River, which originate from the southernmost tip of the Central Alps. The name of Ryujin Falls comes from the ascending white dragon that appeared in front of the villagers. The 12-meter-high waterfall is said to change color 7 times a day. The water is clear and the cobalt blue basin gives people a more mysterious feeling.
Ryujin Falls is located in Yumori Park, where you can experience the beautiful nature of the four seasons. In addition to walking, you can also enjoy camping and trout fishing in the park, and sometimes outdoor live performances are held. In addition, at the Ryujin Shrine, which is said to be good for all games, you can offer a prayer ema. During the autumn leaves festival, you can also walk along the beautiful stream of Kawakami River, which has different scenery throughout the year.
