A Temple Famous for the Glistening National Treasure “Konjikidō Golden Hall” and Lotuses.
Chuson-ji Temple, founded in 850 AD, owns over 3,000 national treasures and important cultural properties and is also registered as a World Heritage site.
This temple was built to transmit the powerful wish to comfort the spirits of those killed in the Tohoku War, no matter which side they were on.
There are many buildings on the temple’s grounds. However, even out of all of them, the Konjikidō Golden Hall holds particular beauty, with both the building and statues of Buddha within glittering gold. It is gaining much recognition as an exquisite work of art.
In addition, Buddha, who corrects people’s wrongdoings, is enshrined in the building Fudodo. The statue of Buddha in this hall may have a bit of a stern expression, but if you pray to it for things such as family safety, health, good grades, and safe travels, it is said that your wishes will be granted by divine favor.
There are also many other sights to see at Chuson-ji, such as the Main Hall, which has seen many events occur through the years, and the hill Tsukimizaka (Moon Viewing Slope) where two Japanese cedar trees that are over 300 years old still stand.
The "New Pavilion" protects the Konjikidō Golden Hall. The Konjikidō Golden Hall is inside this pavilion.
