There are many temples with names all over Japan, but this is probably the only place (I don't know, because I didn't look it up) where "matsu no odora" and "no" are added in this kanji. It was such a miraculous place to be able to take a big bus down a ridiculously narrow mountain path and make the journey safely. I'm sorry to say that I went to the temple, but (I can't help it) I can't see anything in the wonderful main hall of my push, which seems to be under repair for another two years, but maybe there's life for us until it's finished? If you can't see the artistic roof of the main hall, it's just an old temple. Nio-san of the Niomon Gate is also "on business" and neither of them are here ... I wonder why he's here ... Kannon-san has been temporarily evacuated to the Daishido and is moving out of the main hall. The temple has a parking lot for buses and other services, and the main hall is almost flat, but the sutra hall and restrooms are located slightly down the steep stone steps in the precincts, you have to go down and up to get to the sutra stamp or restroom, and what's more, there are no sutra halls or vending machines anywhere in the precincts of the temple this year, in a sense, for small groups like Kosei-datsu whose average age is light and over 65, it's a "Nansho-ji" temple, along with Shifuku-ji and Kannon-ji in Saigoku. It seems that there is only one National Treasure, the "Portrait of Fugen Enmei on silk", but naturally nothing is visible. I wonder if it's in the treasure house? I couldn't bring myself to go into the Treasure House because of the heat, the fatigue and the thirst (it's not always open for about two months in spring and autumn) ... There's a fee here, the parking is expensive for a fee, only the entrance fee seems to be free ... but if you print a sutra it's a decent expense. The area has deep snow, and it seems impossible to drive up the approach without a tire chain in winter. Although this is located in Maizuru City, Kyoto Prefecture, the trail must be climbed from where it once left the Fukui Prefecture side.

第29番札所。
馬頭観世音菩薩を本尊とする福井県境にある真言宗醍醐派寺院です。
京都市内からは離れていて、電車等のアクセスは時間がかかるため、天の橋立、成相寺と一緒に観光するのがベターです。

寺自体の説明については、他の方が多く書かれているので、さらに追加することはない。ここでは、少し違う視点から。多くの方は、西国三十三ヵ所の巡礼で行かれると思うし、また、このお寺から一番近い「成相寺」も回られると思う。実は、私も成相寺からこの松尾寺を目指した。ナビの距離では35kmほど。一時間も見れば十分と思っていたが、舞鶴市内を抜けるのに多くの時間を費やし結局二時間近くかかってしまった。舞鶴市の東西の道路は限られており、土日などは渋滞が予想される。高速料金はかかるが、与謝天野橋立インターから舞鶴東インターまで高速を利用した方がよいかも。

JR小浜線「松尾寺」駅が最寄の交通機関で、そこから徒歩で50分ほど要する、青葉山の中腹にあります。
移動の手段が主として徒歩の時代は兎も角、今では信仰心を伴わないと、訪れにくい所になっています。

ここは、西国第29番の札所です。真言宗醍醐派の寺院で、ご本尊は座像馬頭観世音菩薩です。それ故か、本堂の右側に馬の銅像があります。
ご本尊は秘仏であり、直接の拝観は出来ませんが、お前立ちの馬頭観世音菩薩像は本尊とそっくりに造られているといわれています。
また、快慶作の木造阿弥陀如来坐像は国の重要文化財です。 

この寺のトイレは、「烏枢瑟摩(うすしま)明王殿」と表示されていています。そしてトイレ内の壁面には、うすしま明王の額が飾られています。
全国的にも例を見ない珍しいものだと思います。
うすしま明王は全ての汚濁を清める働きをもつ陀羅尼で、そのため便所の守護仏とされているようです。
ここで用を足しながら気づかなかったという人も居ましたので、念のため書き添えておきます。

なかなか良い寺院です。個人的には重なり合っているように見える本堂の屋根の形状が特に好きです。この寺院は今日の添乗員も言い間違いしていたが、「まつおでら」じゃないですよ、松尾寺と書いて「まつのおでら」と呼びます。人名とか寺社名は絶対に間違ってはならないものですので注意が必要です。ここは西国霊場で唯一、馬頭観音さんをご本尊としている寺院です。かつては七堂伽藍と65もの末寺を有した巨大寺院でしたが、その後の時の為政者の愚策で徐々に縮小を余儀なくされて現在に至っています。前回は紅葉時で超満員でしたが、本日はガラ空きでした。本堂とか堂宇と納経所がかなり離れているが、本堂へも行かずにいきなり納経所へ直行する不埒な「先達」みたいな人も居たが、納経もせずに納経の印を受けに行くとは・・・何十回も廻っているらしいが、何のために廻っているんでしょうね?猿回しじゃあるまいに、廻る回数じゃなくて気持ち、言動、人格の問題でしょうに・・・同じ先達として恥ずかしい・・・。

7時半頃松尾寺駅につく電車で行きました。ヤフー乗り換えでは徒歩45分と出てたけど、まずまず頑張ったけど50分位かかりました。お寺は所要時間30分と書いてるものもあったので、松尾口バス停9時33分を目指し乗れました。下りは早足だと30分でバス停につけるかな。
ただバスをのがすと厳しく、お昼頃まで電車バスはありません。小浜方面にいくならあるかもしれません。
お寺は、西国が観光地化してる所多いですが、なんとなく四国遍路風。私は好きです。
人も少かったのでお堂内でお経OKでした。
納経所には癒し系わんこが片隅にいました。犬見てもお寺のポリシー感じたかもしれません。

ここへ行くには大変な労苦を要します。自家用車や貸切バスなら別ですが、公共交通機関を利用して行こうとすると・・・最終的に健脚者でも半時間以上、通常は50分位の半登山、半ハイクのつもりで出掛ける必要があります。1300年も前にここへ日本人ではない中国の僧が訪れて開創したとはとても信じられない位の山中、700m弱もある若狭冨士、青葉山の中腹まで登る必要があります。が、一番の驚きはその山中に、これだけの大寺院をどのようにして造営したのか、と云うことです。素晴らしい縁起を感じる仁王門、仁王像、勅使門、本堂、経蔵、心霊閣、大師堂、地蔵尊、鎮守社・・・まさに驚異ですね。ここは西国33か所観音霊場のうちで唯一、馬頭観音が参拝目的仏像です。主に、農耕の守護神として崇敬を集めていました。何度、参拝しても感心させられる大寺院、古寺名刹でした。

正式には「まつおでら」ではなく「まつのおでら」と云います。一番のお気に入りは重厚で見事な形状の屋根を有する本堂。素晴らしい堂宇です。西国33観音霊場の中で御本尊が馬頭観音と云うのはこの寺院だけ。見事な彫刻を施した山門、質素だが歴史を感じさせる小さ目の鐘楼、重厚な本堂と廊下伝いに結ばれた大師堂・・・焼失等で後年に再興されたものもあるが、雰囲気は1300年の歴史の重みを感じさせる立派なものばかりでした。山門には仁王像が無く、写真だけですが、本物は宝物館に納められています。宝物館は有料で400円。本尊は秘仏でお前立ちしか拝謁出来ません。所有する国宝の「絹本著色普賢延命像」も宝物館に。他にも国の重文を数多く所有する寺院でした。

JR松尾駅から急いでも徒歩30分はかかります。
又、バスの便も少なく、JR松尾駅よりは寺に近いものの20分はかかります。
山の中腹にある為、帰りは良いのですが、行きが登りで大変です。

青葉山の中腹にある馬頭観音菩薩 古いお堂ではあるがが廻りは手入れの行き届いた処静寂な空気が漂う 住職著作集が珍しく格安で販売 人生往生手形 極楽往生手形等々説法を読んでいるようだ 聞き流す説法どこかに残るが書でみると改めて違いが分かる、 人生往来手形を購入し名前と日付け入れてもらえる。西国では珍しく新たな発見だった。アクセスは悪いが参拝価値あり。
