清澄寺

With a history dating back 1200 years, this temple is most known as the place where the priest Nichiren, the founder of the Nichiren sect, was trained in the 13th century. The grand main temple and the forest that surrounds the property create a solemn atmosphere. It is also one of the largest in the Minamiboso area. This is an ideal spot to watch the first sunrise of the year, or for “Hatsumode” – a time to visit and pray for happiness in the new year.

その歴史は1200年前までさかのぼりますが、なんといっても日蓮宗開祖の日蓮が13世紀に修行を積んだお寺として有名です。南房総では最も大きなお寺のひとつで、りっぱな本堂や境内を取り囲む清澄の森が、厳かな雰囲気を作り出しています。初日の出スポット、そして初詣スポットとして人気です。
