足利市立美術館に日本刀を見に来ました。 刀剣乱舞とコラボして市内の史跡のスタンプラリーが開催中! 事前に鑁阿寺について学習しました。 九時から御朱印とかいただけますが、できれば早く来て、足利氏の邸宅跡地が素晴らしいので、散策してほしいです! 限定の御朱印もありますので! 時間があれば本堂内も見学してほしいです! それから寺周辺に猫🐱がいるのですが残念ながら見かけませんでした。 ここを散策すると心も軽やかになりますよ! お参りしたお陰で怪我なく事故なく自宅に帰れました。 足利市民に愛されておる鑁阿寺なので、時間が許す限りゆっくりまったり隅々まで見てもらえたら嬉しいです! おはようの挨拶で皆さんと交流出来るのも素敵ですよ! ここにこれて本当に幸せでした。 ありがとうございます☺️

足利市にある足利義兼創建のお寺です。 有名な足利学校の裏手に位置しますが、ここ周辺は歴史価値の高い場所です☺ 鑁阿寺は、足利氏宅跡としても史跡になっていますよ。 雰囲気がとても良く京都の寺院を観光しているかと錯覚しそうなほど、魅力があると思います。 創建も鎌倉時代で国宝の本堂をはじめ各文化財も多くあります。入口の山門や堀にかかる橋の雰囲気も良いですよ✨️ 堀は、この邸宅が百名城にも認定されており、簡単に言うと舘内にお寺を創建したものです。 JRの足利駅からも近く、車でも公共の無料駐車場も有り、観光協会の案内所兼土産売場も有りますので観光には、とてもいい場所だと思います😊 余談ですが、足利市は渡良瀬川の両岸に広がった街ですが森高千里さんの「渡良瀬橋」に出てくる橋等も近くに点在してます。 色々な楽しみ方ができると思います!

足利市 鑁阿寺(ばんなじ)と読むらしいです。真言宗のお寺です。足利観光の途中通り掛かり御朱印頂きたくお参りさせて頂きました。大変大きな御神木のイチョウの大木が有ります。今はまだ葉も無く殺風景ですが緑から黄色に色が変わる頃是非とも訪れて観たいですね。境内ではフリマの様な事も行われて居て中々賑わって居ます。舞台では八木節も披露されてました。
