April 21th is the day Kobo-Daishi (the ancestor of the Shingon Buddhism) fell into deep meditation in Koyasan.
We starts "Shomieku Osuna-fumi" at 1:00p.m. at main hall.
The bags containing the sand of each Shikoku Pilgrimage 88 places is arranged in order.
It has been though to earn the same merit as visiting Shikoku Pilgrimage 88 places by worship while stepping on the sand.
Please buy "Osame-fuda" (votive paper) in ¥100, and "Mizutoba"(Small wooden stupa) in ¥1,000.
There are 10 places of offer boxes in the route so I think it is convenient to have a coin purse to be dropped from the neck.
If you are interested, please come to our temple.
For those who could not participate in the "Osuna-fumi" on the day and those who want to repeat the pilgrimage, we are holding a "Osuna-fumi Week".
"Osuna-fumi Week" is an event where you can perform sand stepping at any time during the reception hours from the end of "Shomieku Osuna-fumi" on the 21st to the 28th.
