Nature and History

According to the Izumo no Kuni Fudoki (Record of Local Culture and Legends in Izumo), one of Japan’s oldest surviving texts compiled in 733, Mt. Daisen was since ancient times considered to be a residence of the gods, where mountain ascetics practiced austerities. In the early eighth century, the monk Kinren built a hall for the bodhisattva Jizo, founding Daisenji Temple. The temple subsequently expanded into one of the largest Buddhist communities in western Japan. In the twelfth century another famous monk, Kiko, began promoting Jizo as a special protector of cattle and horses. Farmers started bringing their livestock to the temple to receive Jizo’s blessings, a practice that soon developed into livestock trading as well. The Daisen market grew steadily, and by the late nineteenth century was expanded into the three largest livestock markets in Japan. The market closed in 1937.

The streets leading up to Daisenji Temple evoke the atmosphere of traditional Japan. The 700 m–long stone-paved sando, or main approach to the temple, is the longest path paved with natural stone in Japan. The approach is lined with historic inns and sacred sites and ends at the Okunomiya or Mountain Sanctuary of Ogamiyama Shrine. This is the largest structure in Japan built in the gongen style, with separate worship and main halls connected by a corridor. On clear days, the view from the Bakuroza, the entrance of the area, encompasses the northern side of Mt. Daisen, the Sea of Japan, the Shimane Peninsula, Yumigahama Peninsula, and the Oki Islands.

Activities

Visitors can bike down the winding roads of Mt. Daisen to the sea, enjoying the beech forest and magnificent views of the Sea of Japan, or hike the ancient pilgrim trails through the beech forests of Mt. Daisen all the way to the peak, passing sacred sites and centuries-old Jizo sculptures on the way. Along the approach to Daisenji Temple there are several hot spring inns. A healing soak in a hot spring is fine at any time of year, and winter activities that can be enjoyed here include snowshoeing and skiing.

自然與歷史

根據日本最古老的史書之一《出雲國風土記》（關於日本古代令制國出雲國的地方志，成書於733年）記載，「大山｣即是「大神所在之山」。這裡曾是嚴格的山岳信仰修行地。8世紀初期，金蓮上人在此設立地藏菩薩堂，更創建了大山寺，此後發展成西日本最具規模的佛教聖地之一。12世紀，基好上人將地藏菩薩奉為牛馬守護神，故而當地農民便把家畜牽至該寺祈求平安，信徒間也由此展開家畜交易。19世紀後半葉，大山發展成日本三大牛馬集市之一，直到1937年集市被廢止。

通往大山寺的參拜道古樸清幽，瀰漫著傳統日式風情。這條由石塊鋪設而成的參拜道長達700公尺，在日本首屈一指。漫步於參拜道，可見兩旁的舊式旅社與眾多神社寺廟，並一路通向日本規模最大的權現造建築——大神山神社奧宮。若晴空萬里，從博勞座可環看大山北壁、日本海、島根半島、弓濱半島、隱岐諸島等絕美風景。
