前回のネタも書かれた通り、自分は行った行動を最新から逆に書いてあるので、先週の日曜日の朝、千葉県妙典お寺巡り散歩実行。友達と待ち合わせするのは浦安駅の前のマック。そこから電車に乗って妙典で下車。5.2キロの散歩コースを堪能する。妙典から行徳に戻るコースです。
Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture. 10:00am.
千葉県、浦安駅前。朝10時。
Our friends Yukio and Reiko waiting for us at the McDonald's in front of the station.
駅前マックで友達と待ち合わせ。
Yukio had a map of our walking course which showed the directions and highlights of what we were to see. We only relied on it a few times to make sure we were on that right course.
幸男がお寺巡りの地図を持って、これを参考にして、散歩開始。
Our first temple to check out would be Myokouji Temple.
最初の目的地は妙好寺。
Oranges on a tree.
木にみかんが。
Oops, this wasn't listed on our map - Kasuga Jinja. We only stopped in front of the torii.
あれ、この神社は地図に載ってなかった ー 春日神社。 鳥居の前しか見てない。
The path leading to Myokoji Temple.

One of the over 30,000 Inari Jinjas you will come across in Japan.

Hm, I don't think this was on our map. In fact there were quite a few temples and shrines that weren't listed on this temple walk map but we stopped at places that looked interesting.
あれ、このお寺も私たちが持ってる地図には載ってなかった。妙典で本当にお寺の町だな、地図に載ってないお寺や神社が結構ありました。面白そうなところは覗いてみた。
Manhole cover / マンホールのふた
This temple wasn't on our map either. Actually, this temple seemed to have two names and it was listed on the map.
このお寺も地図に載ってなかった。あっ、このお寺二つの名前もあって、やっぱり地図に載ってた。
Interesting. This sign says that this temple is to relieve the suffering from asthma. It also has a small temple dedicated to monkeys. The story goes that a hunter had shot and killed a monkey. Afterwards, for three generations, this family's first born son was born deaf. It was thought that the monkey had cursed the family.
Shrine to the monkeys
The next temple is probably the largest - Tokuganji Temple.
次はこの散歩コースで一番大きいなお寺と思う - 徳願寺。

You usually see the statue of this boy on school grounds.
この像は大体学校で見ることが多い。
Just before leaving Tokuganji, something caught my eye and I had to check it out. It was one of the most beautiful pet cemeteries I've ever seen. Very cute too.
徳願寺を去る前に気になった光景が目に入った。もちろん行ってみるしかない。今まで見たことのない動物の墓。とっても可愛くて、お洒落でした。
So cute / 可愛い
Even the back of the cemetery is cute.
動物墓の後ろも可愛い。
The walk continues...
散歩がつづく。。。
