Mysterious⭐️I went to Yamadera Temple~

#0yentravelautumn #yamagatatourism #templevisiting A sacred mountain of the Tendai sect in Yamagata Prefecture, representing the Tohoku region. It is famous as "Yamadera" (mountain temple), but its official name is Hojusan Risshakuji (mountain temple). I had heard that the stairs here are difficult...💦, but I was excited to go! Unluckily, on the day I visited, a linear rain band came and an alert was issued for Akita and Yamagata. Hmm... should I give up? I thought, but the rain kept getting stronger and weaker, so I climbed with the hope that maybe the rain would weaken! It's true that the mountain path is lined with stone steps. This is... difficult...💦 In the rain, I climbed silently, looking only at my feet so as not to slip. Of course, I didn't forget to take pictures along the way, and struggled with an umbrella in one hand. Finally the summit. I had heard that climbing will erase your worldly desires... and it certainly made me feel refreshed, and all the hardships I had gone through when climbing were blown away, so I'm glad I climbed! ! is all I can say. It's a temple with mysterious powers. The temple at the top isn't particularly spectacular, but the other temples along the way and the surrounding scenery all combine to make Yamadera so appealing. Comfortable walking shoes are a must! Please give it a try.
