These "three auspicious treasures" led to the name Kinjuuzan 金縄山 "Mountain of the golden rope".
It was later shortened to kanenawa 金縄 "golden rope" and then called 今井山 Imaizan.

Shindaibutsuji 新大仏寺 Shindaibutsu-Ji, Tominaga
五宝山 Gohozan, 新大仏寺 Shindaibutsuji

伊賀市富永1238　/ Iga city, Tominaga

The main statue is 毘盧遮那如来 Birushana Nyorai ((Maka Birushana).

- Chant of the temple
おん　あびらうんけん　ばざら　だとばん

The temple was founded in 1202 by 重源上人 Saint Chogen.
The Buddha Statue was made by 仏師快慶 Master Carver Kaikei.

建久七年(1196)源頼朝は、この地に叔父の佐々木秀義の追善供養のため、一宇を建てた。建仁二年(1202)東大寺再興の大勧進職、俊乗坊重源上人が頼朝の協力を得て、この地に後鳥羽法皇の勅願寺として創建した祈願道場、伊賀別所が当山の始まりである。寺号を新大仏寺とした。鎌倉時代には十余坊を有し、隆盛を極めたと伝えられるが、天正年間(1573～92)の戦乱で、伽藍の大半を失い荒廃の一途をたどる。芭蕉が「丈六にかげろう高し石の上」と詠んで荒廃ぶりを嘆いたのは、貞享五年(1688)のことである。その後、享保十一年(1726)陶榮和尚が再興を発願し、藤堂藩の庇護を仰いだ。
大仏修復を終え仮堂に安置したが、享保十四年(1729)所願果たせず、中興二世宝梁律師が延享五年(1748)に上棟し、入仏したのが現大仏殿である。
その後寺容を整えつつ今日に至っている。本尊毘盧遮那如来坐像は、木造、漆箔、台座を含めると高さ6mに及び、木造仏では類をみない大仏である。仏師快慶初期の作で若々しい張りがあり、国指定重要文化財である。このほか、興正菩薩画像、俊乗上人坐像、僧形坐像、板彫五輪塔も国指定重要文化財である。舎利塔は県指定文化財になっている。成田山を勧請して「伊賀の成田山」と呼んでいるが「阿波の大仏さん」、雨乞いの寺としても知られ八百年の歴史を刻む伊賀屈指の大刹である。

midokoro
緑深い山が境内地になっており、麓に大仏殿、上人堂、開山堂など十数の堂宇が建てられている。平成七年に落慶した山門は立派なものである。ご本尊は宝蔵庫に安置され、春秋大祭日と正月以外は拝観料三百円を要する。境内では桜・あじさい・もみじや秋名菊が楽しめる。
伊賀四国八十八カ所第四番霊場、東海三十六不動尊第二十八番霊場、東海白寿三十三観音十四番霊場でもある。

An old temple built in the Kamakura period.
It enshrines a wooden Great Buddha that is over 4 meters tall and has the same appearance
as the Great Buddha at Todaiji Temple,
as well as a statue of Fudo Buddha that is 6 meters tall.

In addition, flowers such as cherry blossoms in spring, green leaves in May, hydrangeas in June,
and autumn chrysanthemums and maples in autumn are waiting for your visit.

Shindaibutsuji Temple is a “hidden autumn foliage spot”!

Enkokuji 塩谷寺 Enkoku-Ji, Takada
薬王山 Yakuozan 塩谷寺 Enkokuji

神奈川県横浜市港北区高田西4-34-35 / Kanagawa, Yokohama city, Kita ward, Takada Nishi

The main statue is 馬頭観世音菩薩 Bato Kannon Bosatsu.

The temple was founded in 851 by 慈覚大師円仁 Jikaku Daishi Ennin.
. Jikaku Daishi Ennin 慈覚大師仁円 (794 - 864) . .

The wife of 文徳天皇 Emperor Montoku (regent from 826 - 858) could not have children for a long time.
Jikaku Daishi went to Takada in Yokohama, where a special well was found.
The Empress became well soon after drinking the water.
She then had three children. After each birth, she sprinkled some of the water on the head of the baby.
When the third boy was born, she sprinkled water again and the water begun to shine on his head.
The third child later became 清和天皇 Emperor Seiwa Tenno (858 - 876).
Emperor Montoku ordered to have a temple build near the well.
This temple became known as 塩谷寺 Enkoku-Ji.
The temple later became desolate.
Around 1649, it was revived and the farmers came here to pray.
Since the farmers kept many horses, they had a statue of Bato Kannon with a Horse Head made to pray to.
At the place of the former Main Hall there is now 薬師堂 a Hall for Yakushi Nyorai.
In 1964, a kindergarden was opened in the compound, 光明幼稚園 Komyo Yochi-En.
