【神社仏閣ひとり旅】JR青梅線沿線素敵なデザイン御朱印巡り4選[御朱印500名印(No.243~246)]
This time we will start from the south exit of Higashi-Ome Station on the JR Ome Line. First, go west. Turn left at the next traffic light. I’ll walk south. Curve down the hill, cross Ome Kaido, cross the Tama River, and turn left at the traffic light just after crossing the bridge.
Then I saw the shrine grounds on my right, but decided to head towards the Sanmon gate on the south side. The Sanmon gate came into view. We have arrived. It is a temple of the Kenchoji school of the Rinzai sect, and its mountain name is “Mt. Kongo.”
It is said to have been founded during the Bunpo era (1317-1318) at the end of the Kamakura period. On the day I visited, the bulletin board posted thoughts about the Great Noto Earthquake. Now, please bow in front of the Sanmon gate and excuse me.
Once you pass through the Sanmon gate, the approach leads straight to the main hall. The current main hall was rebuilt in 1995. The principal image is the Eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva. I visited in late February. Plum blossoms were starting to bloom in some places.
They then joined hands in front of the main hall and prayed for the happiness of their families. By the way, regarding the beginning of “Gyokusen-ji”, it is said that the temple began when Benzaiten was enshrined on the small island of Benten Pond.
This is the current “Bentendo”. It is counted among the Seven Lucky Gods of Ome. Next, walk around the shrine grounds on the right hand side of the approach. This is “Yakushido”. It contains many origami cranes. This is the “bell tower”. There was also a wonderful garden reminiscent of Karesansui.
On the left side of the approach is Jizo-do. The plum blossoms next door were beautiful. “Sugawara Jizo (child-rearing Jizo)” in front of “Jizodo”. A Jizo statue carved in the late Edo period. Is this a lantern? Jizo-sama? Buddha? Someone was engraved on it.
Also, there was a layered pagoda on the left as soon as you entered the Sanmon gate. In the foreground are the Bato Kanzeon, Buddha statues, and Jizo statues. Now, this is the Shiranami Goshuin “Shoryu” that I received on the day.
There is not much information on the internet, but there are various types of stamps available. Next, leave Gyokusen-ji Temple and head to Joho-ji Temple. Exit the prefectural road and walk north toward Ome Kaido. On the way, you will cross the upper reaches of the Tama River at Shimookutama Bridge.
Then you will see the Chigase 2-chome traffic light. Turn left and head west on Ome Kaido. It’s quite a distance. I just walked. Then, the Sanmon gate appeared on the right. We have arrived. There is a temple bulletin board in front of the Sanmon gate. Cute illustrations were also included.
It is said to have been founded during the Oei era (1394-1428) during the Muromachi period. “Takiyama” displayed on the Sanmon gate is the mountain name of Joho-ji Temple. Once you bow in front of the Sanmon gate, you will see the main hall in front of you.
The current main hall was built in 1980. I took off my shoes and went to the main hall to receive the goshuin. “Cat Jizo” is on the east side of the precincts. A stone statue of a beckoning cat.
It used to be in another temple, but it was taken over here in the middle of the Showa era. At the back is Shirataki Fudoson. The principal image is “Kurikara Ryuo.” A black dragon, the incarnation of Fudo Myoo, is wrapped around the sword.
The guardian dog in front of you was dedicated in 1928. The front of the main hall. To the left of the Sanmon gate is the Bell Tsukido. This building survived a fire in 1870. There were many Jizo statues and stone Buddha statues in the small precincts.
The goshuin that I received on that day is this “good luck and good luck goshuin.” Goshuin information will be announced on the temple’s official Instagram. There are many holidays, so check the schedule on the temple’s official website. Now, after Joho-ji Temple, we will head to Seiho-in Temple.
Exit the Sanmon gate, head west, and turn left at the Ome Civic Hall south signal. As you go down the hill, you will see the stone steps of the temple on your right. It is not certain when it was founded, but it is said to be during the Muromachi period.
As you go up the stone steps, you will see a pond, just like Chiba’s original Mt. Narita, and a pair of guardian dogs will greet you in front of the main gate. The “Sanmon Gate” is said to be a late 18th century building, and
Was apparently relocated from a temple in Saitama at the end of the Edo period. When you bow in front of the temple gate, you will see the “main hall” in front of you. There was a “Chozuya” on the right hand side of the approach, but it was closed.
The principal image is the “Statue of Fudo Myoo.” It was carved during the Bunsei era (1818-1830) and is a five-shaku statue of the main image of Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. In 1859, it was brought from Naritasan Shinshoji Temple and enshrined on the back of a horse.
Before we put our hands together in front of the main hall, there was incense sticks, so I gave them to them. Incense sticks and a permanent incense burner are available in front of the main hall. I prayed for the happiness of my family in front of the main hall.
Next, to the left of the main hall are the Seven Lucky Gods, Ebisu-do and Bishamonten. The enshrined “Ebisu Son” was dedicated in 1868. “Bishamonten”. Among the Seven Lucky Gods, he is in charge of courage. Next, take a walk to the left of the Sanmon gate. “Shinhen Daibodhisattva” and “Hanbei Daikokuten”.
“Shinhen Daibodhisattva” is the founder of mountain religion. The statue was dedicated in the early Edo period. “Hanbei Daikokuten” was found by children on the banks of the Tama River. Next to it is a small temple with a red torii gate. “Inari Daimyojin” and “Gozu Tennosha”.
I also went to the right hand side after entering the Sanmon gate. Then, I saw beautiful plum blossoms and a statue of Prince Shotoku. I returned to the pond in front of the mountain gate. The main branch, Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, also has a pond.
There were no turtle stones, but there were real turtles taking a break. There were Rokujizo statues lined up on the left side of the pond. From the left: “Enmei Jizoson”, “Hasho Jizoson”, “Non-rest Jizoson”, “ Gosan Jizoson”, “Benni Jizoson”, and “Sanryu Jizoson”.
Beyond that, I don’t know the details of what looks like a stone shrine. And this is the Goshuin seal that I received on the day. The ink is “Fudo Myoo”, the principal image of the Gohonzon. The gold Sanskrit characters are impressive.
By the time I finished worshiping at Seiho-in Temple, it was almost 11:30, so I went back the way I had come and had an early lunch. At the previous traffic light, go straight without turning. Turn left at the Ome City Cultural Exchange Center traffic light. Walk west.
Then you will see a sign for udon, so take the narrow road on the left. You will see the udon restaurant on your right. The husband trained at the famous restaurant “Shotaro Udon” in Nerima, Tokyo.
A small shop with only a counter. I came early so I was able to sit down without waiting. This time I ordered the famous “Meat Tsuke Udon”. Udon has a stronger back than you can imagine. It’s worth eating.
There was a lot of pork belly in the dipping sauce and I was very satisfied. Now that I’m full, I can resume my tour of goshuin stamps. Next, we will head to Haijima Hiyoshi Shrine. Return east on the Old Ome Kaido Road and turn left at the Ome Ekimae signal.
From JR Ome Station, take the Ome Line train bound for Tachikawa. During the day on weekdays, there are about 5 trains per hour. Ride for about 30 minutes and get off at Haijima Station. Aim for the south exit.
Exit the south exit and you will see a rotary in front of the station. Next, go to bus stop 1. From here, board the bus bound for Tachikawa. 3 videos per hour during weekdays. After getting off at the Haijima Daiichi Elementary School bus stop, walk in the direction the bus went.
Then, a torii gate appeared on the left. The deities enshrined are “Oyamakui no Mikoto,” “Hayamado no Mikoto,” and “Kayamado no Mikoto.” As you walk along the approach from the bus street, you will see a torii gate in front of you.
There is a wisteria trellis in front of this torii gate, and the best time to see it is from late April to early May. Then, you can see the worship hall at the top of the stone steps beyond the torii gate.
The date of its establishment is unknown, but it is said to be during the Tensho era (1573-1591). It was originally called “Sanno Daigongensha,” but due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in 1869, the name was changed to “Hiyoshi Shrine.”
Before joining hands at the shrine, we stopped at the “Chozuya” on the left to cleanse our hands and mouth. The current shrine building is said to have been rebuilt in 1855. We put our hands together in front of the shrine, expressed our gratitude, and prayed for world peace and for fewer disasters.
The shrine building has many carvings. There are sculptures of two dragons on the front. Nine dragons are carved into the main shrine. Monkey, pheasant, and dragon on the front left and right. The monkey is a divine messenger of Hiyoshi Shrine.
On the left and right sides of the shrine, there were carvings of cranes, a symbol of eternal youth and longevity. Next, let’s move towards the back from the left side of the shrine. Then there is the “main hall”. The main shrine is an even older building than the worship hall.
The subject of the carvings in the main shrine is the Chinese folklore “Hangshan Guro.” This is Zhang Hun, Ji Mu, and Hu Shu. And a dragon sculpture. At the bottom you can see carvings of various animals.
Let’s go around the back of the main hall and look at the carvings. There is also a dragon at the top. In the center are Hakushin, Hakurakuten, and Ryushin. There are also animals at the bottom.
On the right hand side, there is a carving of an animal at the top. In the center are Lu Jeong, Do Geun-chi, and Zheng Yao. There are also animals at the bottom. There was a turtle here.
When you return to the side of the Chozuya, you will see a small shrine. The deities that are enshrined here are… Excuse me and I look inside and see “Toyoke Konmuri no Mikoto” and “Takeminakata no Mikoto.” Now, this is the “Kisaragi no Goshuin (Reiwa 6)” that I received on the day.
Please check the shrine’s official Instagram for the latest information on the stamps. Today’s goshuin tour ends at Haijima Hiyoshi Shrine. On the way home. I returned to the previous bus stop and exited to Haijima Station.
By the way, you can also get to JR Tachikawa Station from the bus stop on the opposite side. Thank you for watching until the end. Please be sure to subscribe to the channel and give us a high rating!

青梅にある玉泉寺は、少し離れていたので
母の体力的に伺う事が出来ませんでした(´;ω;`)
拝島日吉神社は、立川駅から伺って
その後、立川周辺の神社も巡ったのですが
青梅駅→立川駅とバスがあったのですね♪
青梅市にまだまだ巡れるところがあって驚きです。玉泉寺は河辺駅からバスで行くと良いみたいですね。
拝島日吉神社は書置き、直書き、見開きと色々あるのでおすすめですね。
