Temple of Yamaguchi

Today I introduce to you about famous temple of Yamaguchi, Ruriko-ji and Hofu Tenman-gu.

First, I show you Ruriko-ji in Yamaguchi city. Thw reason why Ruriko-ji is famous spot is there is a five-stored pagoda which is a national treasure. This pagoda is an old temple in teth and sometimes called Japanese three famous pagodas. In spring, There are many cherry blossoms and plum blossoms. The sight is very beautiful!



And, Hofu Tenman-gu is in Hofu city. This Tenman-gu is dedicated Michizane Sugawara.Michizane Sugawara is a nobleman in Heian Era. And he is called god of syudy. So many students (especially preparing for an examination) buy pencils and lucky charms.
And in spring, many plum blossoms decorate the precincts of temple.
