Address
Neighborhood: Nishijin District
A district with a long textile heritage, ancient Kyoto is still alive in the Nishijin District. Studded with its weaving factories, tea houses, and onsen, the neighborhood is charming and peaceful with a self-possessed air. Less traveled than other parts of the city, it is a district where you can take it at your own pace. Visitors can explore the many weaving and cloth houses, the free kimono shows, and the many shops selling traditional clothing and goods. Showcasing architecture with sloping roofs and wooden reliefs dating to decades past, the streets in the Nishijin District transport you back in time, making them a joy to wander.

「時雨松」と「五色椿」の「出水七不思議」中、二つがある寺院です
May 2015 • Solo
日蓮宗寺院なので拝観は無料です。晴れた日にも枝から雫を落としたと云う「時雨松」（秀吉手植えの松）と五色の花をつけたと云われる「五色椿」と云う出水七不思議のうちの二つがありました。又、聞くところによると、テレビでも御馴染の火付盗賊改方長官、鬼平こと長谷川平蔵の父、長谷川宣雄の葬儀が執り行われた記録が保存されているそうです。日蓮宗共通の綺麗な境内と堂宇がある寺院で、別名、地元では「出水の毘沙門さん」としても崇敬を集めています。拝観は事前に電話かはがきで予約しておくのが良いと思われます。私はいきなりアポイント無しで行ってしまいましたが・・・。

日蓮宗を代表する寺院でも有りました
May 2021
京都日蓮宗の寺院の中でも有数の規模を誇る寺院でもありました。天正11年の創建ですから本能寺の変が有った翌年、秀吉公の宗教勢力の地盤固めと考えるのは私だけかもしれませんね。京都市の説明書ですが「伏見桃山城」と「豊臣秀吉公」をセットで記載されていますが、秀吉公のときは伏見城なので正確に記載して欲しい気がします。桃の木が植えられ「桃山城」と呼ばれるのは江戸時代になってから、伏見桃山城と呼ばれるのは現代になってからですので・・・あの世で秀吉公に伏見桃山城について聞いたら、それどこって聞き返されるかもしれませんね。些細なことですが気になります。
