  ちょっとそこまで、「宝塔寺」ヘ ！ 最寄りの駅はなく一番近いのはJR稲荷駅でそこから歩くのが良いでしょう。伏見稲荷は数回来ていますがここまで足を運ぶのは初めてです。大きな寺院で見応えはありましたよ。ツツジでしょうか参道の両脇に咲いています。境内に入ると正面に本殿が右には多宝塔、左にはこどもを抱えた観音様が印象的でした。是非立ち寄ってください。  more »

  A little up there, "Takaratoji" he! There is no nearest station, and the nearest one is JR Inari Station. Fushimi Inari has come here several times, but this is the first time i've been here. It was a big temple. It blooms on both sides of the approach. When we entered the precincts, the main hall was on the right, and kannon-sama with children on the left was impressive. Please stop by.

  伏見稲荷から１５分くらいのところにある日蓮宗の大きなお寺です。平安初期に藤原氏が建立したお寺に遡る由緒のあるお寺です。室町時代に建てられた多宝塔は京都市内最古のもので、江戸初期に再建された本堂も日蓮宗としては最古というように非常に由緒のあるお寺です。また、本堂から長い階段を登っていくと七面宮というお堂があります。観光客はほとんどいないので、ゆっくりと参拝することができます。  more »

  石段の上に楼門形式の仁王門がそびえ、その奥には室町時代の建築の重要文化財の本堂と多宝塔があり、ちょっとした観光寺院にも劣らない風格があります。それに、大賑わいの伏見稲荷からも近く、京阪深草駅からも徒歩圏内なのに、全く人気がありません。不思議なことです。 宝塔寺の前身は藤原基経が建立した極楽寺とされています。極楽寺は源氏物語にも出てきますし、当時の文献では東寺、西寺、延暦寺などと並び称されるような大寺として扱われています。今も宝塔寺の門前に深草極楽寺町という地名がありますが、京都市遺跡地図を見ると平安時代の極楽寺はこの極楽寺町の北側の大門町から野手町あたりにかけて存在したと推定されているようです。

  The Deva of the gate form is towering above the stone steps, and there is the main hall and the Tower of the important cultural property of the Muromachi period architecture, and there is a style not inferior to a little sightseeing temple. In the vicinity, it is not popular at all though it is near from Fushimi Inari of the bustle, and it is within walking distance from Keihan Fukakusa station. It is a strange thing. The predecessor of the Treasure Pagoda Temple is considered to be a temple of paradise built by Fujiwara Motokei. The Gokurakuji temple is also in the Tale of Genji, and in the literature of the time, it is treated as an otera, which is lined with Toji, Nishi-dera, and Enryakuji temple. It seems to have been presumed that it existed from Daimon town on the north side of this Gokurakuji town to the fielder town in the Heian period when the Kyoto City ruins map is seen though there is a place of a place named Fukakusa Temple Town in the gate of the Treasure Pagoda Temple now.

  天文法難で徹底的に焼き討ちされた京都の日蓮宗寺院の建築物には、国宝は言うに及ばず国の重要文化財もほとんどありませんが、ここは本堂と総門、多宝塔が国の重要文化財に指定されています。しかしながら観光寺院かする気は皆無なようで、参拝料は取っていませんし、宣伝もしていません。長い階段をのぼって七面堂まで行かないと、お守りすら売っていません。観光客にフレンドリーなお寺ではありませんが、勝手に来て勝手に拝観する分には何の不自由もないので、そういうお寺だと割りきった上でご参拝下さい。

  The building of the Hihasune Temple in Kyoto, which was thoroughly burnt down by astronomical law, is not limited to the national treasure, but there are few important cultural properties of the country, but the main hall, the total gate, and the tower are designated as important cultural properties of the country. However, it seems that there is no intention to be a tourist temple, and the worship fee is not taken, and it does not advertise. If you do not go up the long stairs to the seven-sided hall, even the amulet is not sold. Although it is not a friendly temple to tourists, because there is no inconvenience in the minute to visit without permission to come without permission, please visit us after you have finished dividing it is such a temple.
