[Hiraizumi City] A trip around World Heritage sites

#0円旅January2025 On the day I visited Hiraizumi, I first visited Chusonji Temple, a World Heritage Site. I was overwhelmed by the beautiful gold leaf decorations of the Golden Hall, and took my time to explore it while feeling its historical weight. The surrounding nature was also magnificent, and just strolling through the quiet grounds was soothing. After that, I visited the nearby Motsuji Temple, where I spent some time feeling the culture of the Heian period while looking at the vast gardens and pond. In the afternoon, I strolled through Hiraizumi Town, a place associated with Yoshitsune, and visited Yoshitsune-do Hall and surrounding historical sites. For lunch, I enjoyed the local specialty "Hiraizumi Soba" and savored the blessings of nature. Finally, I relaxed in Hiraizumi Onsen to soothe my tired body. Hiraizumi, which combines history, nature, delicious food and hot springs, was a wonderful and heartwarming day.
