This temple,Daijyo-ji, was founded about twelve hundred and fifty years ago.Sometimes Daijyo-ji is called Ohkyo-ji. Ohkyo Maruyama was a famous artist in the Edo era about two hundred years ago.The works at Daijyo-ji have been said to be Ohkyo's gift to repay the kindness of chief priest who assisted the young artist in times of need.The paintings took eight years to complete. Ohkyo has been called the father of the sketch and has contributed greatly to the modernization of japanese painting. The reason for such high acclaim lies in his distinctive approach to the pictorial surface, which transformed the mere surface painting do form s to a deeper examination and understanding of the basic structures of objects. After his death,this approach to painting was passed on to the Maruyama sect and Shijyo Maruyama sect.

This temple is well-known among those Japanese who love classic Japanese paintings. That is because all the rooms of its reception hall are fully decorated by the paintings of a famous master of Japanese painting, Maruyama Ohkyo, and his disciples. To be more precise, the reception hall consists of 13 rooms, and they are separated by “fusuma,” or Japanese-style sliding panels that are decorated with the paintings of various themes by this master and his high disciples.
This temple boasts to house 165 paintings altogether. This rather exceptional collection of paintings has an interesting history behind. The chief priest of this temple in the mid-18th century period noticed the artistic ingenuity of Ohkyo when he was working at an artisanal workshop and, at the same time, trying to study painting from a master of Kanoh school, which had been the predominant school of Japanese painting since the early 16th century. Having come from an ordinary farming family, Ohkyo had been financially strapped in his effort to become a professional painter. Accordingly, the chief priest had given him a sizable amount of money for his scholarship. Later, when Ohkyo had established himself as the master of his own school, he came to the temple with his high disciples, in order to return the favor of generous scholarship with the decoration of the entire reception hall with paintings. That is what we can see today.
Maruyama Ohkyo and his school is known as the first to move away from the decorative style of traditional Japanese painting, and to emphasize naturalism, a kin to Western painting style, that depicts objects realistically, with details and intricacy. This art style is well demonstrated in the paintings of this temple, and the style is still very much emulated in the modern Japanese paintings. Furthermore, one can discover Ohkyo’s talent and skill that utilizes the visual distortion of three-dimensional real things in the two-dimensional pictures on sliding panels, to good effect. In other words, these panels are viewed by the people in a room from different angles, and this viewing angle affects the viewer’s perception of a whole picture and its visual impression. Ohkyo incorporated such visual effects in the original composition. Fortunately, the visitors to the temple are accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who helps them experience such subtle visual effects and appreciate the special artistic design and finesses in the pictures.

With the JR-West Kansai Wide Pass, we stopped here for 1 hour. Our final destination is kinosaki onsen but wanted to see a little of the coast and villages first. From Kasumi station, we walked about 5-10 minutes to the beach where there was a summer fair with some stalls set up. Heard they were expecting fireworks that night. Bought some black rice (kurome), yakisoba, bento and met many nice friendly people. We thought of going to Takeno beach after but it was simply just too hot ... about 38 Degrees - one of the hottest days in Japan.

湯村温泉から車で走ること約30分、スキー場を通り林道を最奥地まで行くとミズバショウの里です。
山肌を利用した棚田に植えられたミズバショウが可憐に咲いてました。
案内人の方もいたので色々教えていただけます。
帰り道、標高700m付近に咲くザゼンソウも見てきました。
3000株のザゼンソウが自生しており、訪れたときは咲き始めたばかりのようでした。
どちらも無料で見学できます。

車道は整備されていますが行くまでは急な登り道で、着いたら気温も明らかに街よりは低かったです。園内に入りカツラの巨木とご対面して、ぐるっと園内を大回りして戻ったら、かなり広い植物園でした。

餘部橋梁は、現役の路線としている使用されているのは、２代目でコンクリート製。初代は鉄橋ですね。
過去の痛ましい事故を乗り越え、今では新たな橋梁になりましたが(以前よりも安全対策はとられているのだろうが)、それでも細～くて一見頼りない気もするが、道の駅から見上げる橋梁はそれなりに迫力があります。昔は、鉄橋で風情がありましたが、今では写真でしか見ることができません。それでも、今も昔も香美町のシンボル的存在です。

駐車場からゲレンデまではゴンドラで向かいます。
ゴンドラが出来るまでは登行リフトを乗り継いでいたみたいです。
それにしてもゲレンデまでは乗っているだけですが遠かったです。
いざ着くとリフトが両脇に4本あります。
コースはほぼ緩斜面なので初心者の方向けです。
ただ、トイレや更衣室等の施設が古く、トイレの個室に小物置きがないので不便でした。
