Fudarakusan-ji
Buddhist temple
👍👍 世界遺産で熊野詣(3大神社と1寺)と関係があるお寺さんで、那智大社のふもとにあり、6キロ位しか離れていないので、那智の滝等に行かれる方はついでに行かれる事をおすすめ致します。3大神社、2寺でこれで熊野詣完結した事になると思います。素晴らしい樹木や、すぐ隣には浜の宮王子もあり、霊験あらたかであると思います。...

Kumano-Nachi Taisha Grand Shrine Homotsu-den Treasure Hall
Museum
👍 2022/08/12 It was free for one person with a parking ticket, so I used it. There are many mirrors (there were about two mirrors where you can see the mirror surface). There are about 4 swords (the three-pronged sword is impressive. Looking at the website, it seems that it is called the Futsu no Mit...
