The shining national treasure "Kinjido"

#aprilblooms It is a temple that was opened in the 3rd year of Kasho (850 A.D.) and has more than 3,000 national treasures and important cultural properties. It is also registered as a World Heritage Site. It contains a strong desire to comfort the souls of those who died in the war that once followed in the Tohoku region without enemies or allies, and to create a peaceful society. There are several buildings on the premises, but among them, "Konjikido" is popular for its beauty like a single art craft, where the buildings and Buddha statues shine in golden colour. In addition, the Buddha who corrects people's mistakes is enshrined in "Fudo-do", and the Buddha statue has a slightly stern face, but it is said that it is beneficial to pray for the safety of the wife, the healing of the disease, passing the exam, and traffic safety.
