Minohsan Ryuanji Temple

Minohsan Ryuanji Temple

Minoji Temple was originally built by the Japanese mystic En no Gyoja around the year 650, located near the basin of the Great Minoh Falls. Later, the temple was given an imperial scroll by Emperor Go-Daigo and renamed as the Ryuanji Temple.

The main deity of the temple is Benzaiten, who is said to be the first and oldest deity in Japan. The temple is known as the origin of the mountain worship religion Shugendo, attracting practitioners of the religion from all over Japan.

It is also the birthplace of Japan's first ever lottery called "Tomikuji'' which started over 400 years ago. It is still run every year on the 10th October, and the winners receive a good fortune charm said to bring physical health, family safety, and business prosperity. A must-visit around that date!

箕面山 瀧安寺は、箕面公園一帯が境内であった古刹で、役小角による開創とされ、日本最初の弁財天を祀っています。かつては修験道の道場として栄え、堂舎が80余りもあったと言われています。寺の境内は紅葉の季節に美しい光景を楽しむことができ、観音堂や本堂の歴史ある建造物、神仏習合の要素も感じられる場所です。箕面駅から滝へ向かう途中に訪れる価値のあるお寺です。

滝道を歩いていて、弁財天滝道の鳥居をくぐると、山門が現れ、その奥に観音堂がありました。山門を過ぎて石段を上ると、大黒堂や本堂の弁天堂が見えました。また、寺の境内には瑞雲橋や鳳凰閣、客殿もあり、寺院としての歴史と格式を感じました。箕面山 瀧安寺は宗教家たちが修行した場所でもあり、歴史ある寺院として興味深い場所です。
