...it's also a casually manicured forest of near ancient cedar, cypress, red pine, hemlock fir and umbrella pine replete with much of what visitors associate with Japan and so much more; devotees conducting religious observances, monks in saffron, black and white, moss covered everything, lantern lined stone paths, statuary both whimsical and austere, torii, temples, gentle streams... and quietude (not a complete list). Each visit will end with your arrival at Toro-do, at dawn, you can take in morning prayers, and at dusk, enjoy the stillness under hanging lamps while facing Kobo Daishi's Mausoleum. There isn't really all that much to do here, just observe, absorb, process, reflect, and be.

Today was the first day of the 2017 Sanada Festival on the grounds of this facility. After opening ceremonies, they had a gun/rifle demonstration by townspeople dressed in the military uniforms of the Sanada warring era. I believe the guns/rifles are authentic 300+ years-old weapons. Quite impressive program. The “warriors” stayed around after the demonstration and provided photo ops for anyone wanting to pose with them. Lots of excitement and fun. Lots of food and other stalls scattered around the field. They had other activities such as a magician show, J-pop dancing by youngsters, karate demonstration by youngsters and more. The information center is nicely arranged with very interesting displays worth one’s time to review. It has a large parking area for cars but unfortunately, due to the festival, cars had to be parked at alternative parking areas. This facility is a fair walk from the train station. They only had one brochure in English which they had to locate in a cabinet. A very helpful and friendly staff helped me with figuring things out regarding the program of the day. The main parade through town is on May 5, every year starting from this facility. So get ready for next year’s Sanada festival and a visit to this facility for education and fun.

南海御幸辻駅から北西へ徒歩約１０分のところにあり、桜、つつじなどの木々の間に遊歩道が設けられている。池には鉄のつり橋がかかり、渡るのにややスリルもある。また、郷土資料館には、民具や歴史的資料がたくさん展示され、みごたえもあるが、入館無料。

I attended the Sanada Festival and was in the area of the information center. This old temple is a short walk from the information center. In the old days women were not allowed on the sacred Mount Koya. So this was the closest to could come for a while. Ladies’ breast seem to be something they worship as one may purchase and leave wooden amulets adorned with breasts of all designs. One of the trails leading up to Mount Koya starts near here. The stairs leading up to the Niukanshofu Shrine is right next to Jison-in temple.

Wooden temples hidden among the trees, mist-covered Mountains, smooth-headed monks in colorful robes--all the Buddhist film archetypes are alive on Mt. Koya. A deeply sacred place, central to the Shingon sect of Buddhism, Mt. Koya is also a World Heritage Site due to its more than 1000-year-old teaching and meditation sites.

Koyasan is popular with pilgrims and tourists alike and can have the atmosphere of a carnival. Crowds on weekends and holidays can sell out lodging, so book ahead!
Don't try to do this in a at from Osaka-you need two days to make this worthwhile.
I hope the train track gets repaired soon-the long bus ride up the mountain is painful!

A nice arrangements of displays, mostly of information and illustrations on the wall with some artifacts from the past. No English brochure available but they had many of the wall displays with English explanation which made it very educational. Photos were allowed for most of the displays. Having seen the 2016 NHK Taiga Drama Sanada Maru, I especially enjoyed the visit and learned a lot.

人魚のミイラを見に行ってきました。訪問時、刈茅堂のカギがかかっており、お堂の入口に置かれていたノートには年始に訪れた参拝者の方が書かれた感想がありました。1月4日分までの書き込みがありましたが、年が明けてからのものは全て見ることができなかったという内容でした。そのため、あきらめて帰ろうとしていたところ、寺の方が見えられて参拝させていただくことができました。恥ずかしながら、石堂丸物語を知らなかったので、帰りに堂内で販売していた冊子を買ってきました。

The complex was interesting to walk around, very peaceful and quiet which we liked. The Great Stupa is huge and so bright. We enjoyed spending some time admiring all there was to see.

JR隅田駅から徒歩15分、ゆっくり歩いても20分ほど。駅を出て左へ道なりに進み、国道24号線を左折。しばらく進むと隅田八幡神社の標識がある。
京都府の石清水八幡宮から勧請された神社で859年の創建。現在の社殿は1822年に再建されたもの。石段の途中にある随神門の天井には迫力のある龍の絵が描かれている。
日本最古の金石文である「人物画象鏡」（国宝）は国立博物館に寄託されているため見ることはできないが、それを模した石碑が建てられている。
秋にはだんじりも出る勇壮な祭りが開かれるそうであるが、訪れた時は参拝者が一人もおらず静かな境内であった。
