立石寺—日本寺院

　　日本立石寺（Risshaku-ji Temple）

　　立石寺（Risshaku-ji Temple），山形市东北部的立石寺据说在860年开山，是东北地区屈指可数的名寺。生长着苍郁古树的宝珠山矗立在寺中，广大的寺域内除了有经风水侵蚀而形成的岩穴、奇岩之外，还保留了以根本中堂为首的各种堂塔。

　　Risshaku-ji Temple in the Yamadera (mountain temple) area in the northeastern part of Yamagata City is one of the prominent temples in the Tohoku region, and was reportedly founded in the year 860. The whole of Mt. Hoju-san is the precinct of the temple, where luxuriant ancient trees grow. Everywhere in the vast temple area, you can find rock caves and queerly shaped rocks, eroded by wind and water, as well as many other temple buildings, including the Konpon-chudo (central hall).
