A Historic Temple with the Most New Year (Hatsumode) Visitors in Japan.

3.55 4

Last update :

This historic temple, which was established in 940 by High Priest Kanchō, is rooted in prayers for the pacification of the Taira no Masakado revolt.
This Fudomyo statue was carved by Kukai, the founder of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, who prayed as he created it.
When visitors step inside the Great Main Hall, they can pray to Fudomyo, too.
The Ichikawa family, a long line of kabuki performers, created a play in which Fudomyo makes an appearance. This play gathered the faithful of Naritasan among commoners during the early Edo Period.
Today, it has become a popular temple attracting over 3 million visitors during the first three days of the New Year.

    每一年新年的參拜人數僅次於明治神宮,表參道兩邊土產店、餐廳林立,是成田地區最具代表的寺院。

    前往新勝寺參道有整條相當復古的老街,這裡有名的是川豐烤鰻魚,現烤肥美的鰻魚加上用內臟煮成的清湯,美味可口好吃。

    今天和朋友到成田山新胜寺去参拜。虽然要乘坐1个多小时的电车才能到,但觉得特别值得。这里不仅是参拜的热门景点,而且面积广阔的公园非常漂亮,在里面散步特别有情趣。参道上有好多家贩售鳗鱼饭的餐厅,一路上散发着碳烤鳗鱼的焦香味 。鳗鱼饭从以前就很受到千叶成田山新胜寺参拜客的爱戴,是成田山的特色美食。一定不要错过哦。

    從車站走一會兒就能到,從山上下來,兩旁是迷人的當地手工藝品商店。與東京和京都的寺廟相比,這裏非常寧靜。花園很漂亮,適合散步,池塘和瀑布增添了一種平靜的感覺。
