大原野神社へ行ったときに、たまたま見つけたお寺です。仁王門から徒歩で500程坂道を上がったところに拝観受付の入り口があります。体力がないので、(;´Д`)ハァハァ言いながら登った先に、とってもキレイな紅葉が広がっていました。今年観た中で一番キレイかも☆拝観料400円。見応えのあるお寺です! 車で駐車場まで行くのがおすすめです。

かれこれ40年ほど前に買い求めた講談社現代新書の「旅の楽しさ」に、京都西山の勝持寺から三鈷寺までを歩いて訪ねるお話が載っていました。本には小さな白黒写真があって、それは蓼平から灰方へ向かう途中、田んぼの畦道で出会ったタンポポを摘む少女のようです。遠くに見える西山と、どこまでも広がる田んぼの風景は今では見られない貴重な風景となってしまいました。 以来ずっと勝持寺と三鈷寺には行ってみたいと思いつつも叶いませんでが、ようやく訪ねることができました。桜🌸の季節でもなく、紅葉🍁には少し早いようでしたが、秋の陽射しが木漏れ日となって苔の鮮やかな緑色が映える綺麗なお庭でした。あまりに静かで時が止まったような場所でしたよ。

2022年11月27日に参拝しました。 最寄駅はなくバスでの移動となるため交通の便が良くないですが、苦労して来たかいがありました。紅葉🍁がとても素敵で、静かにゆっくりと紅葉を楽しめました この辺りでは、光明寺の紅葉が有名ですが、多くの人で混雑しており、私的にはコチラがオススメです。
