寺
石山寺は天然記念物に指定されている巨大な岩盤にそびえたっており、これは石灰岩がマグマによって変質したもので、ここまでの規模は世界的にも珍しく重宝されています。また石山寺は、あの紫式部が「源氏物語」の着想を得た地と言われています。
Ishiyama-dera Temple stands on a huge rock bed designated as a natural monument, which is a metamorphic rock formed by limestone being altered by magma. This scale is rare and valuable even in the world. Ishiyama-dera Temple is also said to be the place where Murasaki Shikibu got the inspiration for “The Tale of Genji”.
