Chusonji: a famous beautiful temple in Japan

Hello.

What we introduce is Chusonji in Oshu Hiraizumi. In Japan, it is a famous temple that goes to textbooks. Currently located in Hiraizumi-cho, Nishiwai-gun, Iwate Prefecture.

Iwate prefecture is said to be "Michinoku".

"Michinoku" means "back of the road", meaning far and remote. Because it was far from the city where old noblemen lived, it was called like this. For them, "Michinoku" is a land of admiration, and at the same time it is said that they also held discrimination feelings. How unvivable.

"Hiraizumi" is registered as a World Heritage Site. Chusonji, Hikoshidera, Showa Observatory site, Mass monastery ruins and Kanji Mt. (Http://hiraizumi.or.jp/heritage/)

Chusonji was built by powerful people in rural areas.

It began 1105 in the construction. In the latter half of the 11th century the war continued in the Tohoku region. It seems that it was comforting spirit and determination of the founder who lost his family to build a peaceful society by teaching Buddha to "Michinoku".

There are many sanctuaries in Chusonji

There are many temple burned down for various reasons, but there were important reasons that were created for each, and it was rebuilt by administrative efforts and others. Even now it is carefully managed.

Of course, the Buddha statue is also settled.

Please see the last strong male statue.

Chusonji was battle intensely with the power of time, and at that time it is said that he was dead with influential people.

In Japan, it is popular as "Benkei". Sitting beside Benkei is the younger brother of a power man named Genoshi Genoshi. Benkei accompanies Genoshi Genoshi and is gone here.

Chusonji is surrounded by greenery.

The trees grow thick.** Moss** is beautiful enough to sigh.

It is "Gosyuin" of Chusonji.
