ご開帳の祝い 戸倉上山田の上の善光寺別院

戸倉駅からの送迎の途中で、いつものように戸倉上山田温泉の上の善光寺別院のお寺をついでに案内しました。そうすると、そのお寺もご開帳のために特別な飾りをしているのが分かった。やはり、ここも、七年に一度のご開帳を盛り上がろうとしている。

Often times, I take guests to the temple above our onsen town after picking them up from Togura Station to give them a birds-eye view of our town and the Chikuma River valley. Yesterday when I did so, I saw the temple, a branch of Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City, was decorated up for the big Gokaicho event. Even our temple is getting into the the celebration for this once-every-seven-years event.
