善光寺別院に輝かのイチョウの木 Golden Gingko of the Zenkoji Branch Temple

November 9, 2013: 季節 Seasons

戸倉上山田温泉の裏の城山に善光寺別院があって、温泉街を見下ろしている。その玄関に40歳ぐらいのイチョウの大木がある。この時期は紅葉でお寺の雄大の外観に、アプローチの行灯と素晴らしい絵になります。

Perched on top of Joyama, the hill behind our onsen town of Togura-Kamiyamada, is the Zenkoji Branch Temple. At its entrance is a 40+ year old ginkgo tree. This time of the year, its leaves turn a brilliant shade of gold. They beautifully contrast with the grand red facade of the temple and the stone grey of the andon lanterns that line the approach.
