25 Bodhisattva Hall

Sokei Kumano Shrine

This shrine is said to have been commissioned by Tojin Ohno in the 2nd year of the Yoro era, and is said to have enshrined the spirit of Kishu Kumano Daigongen, and was originally located in Uesokei Kumano. The current main shrine was rebuilt in September of the 7th year of Enpo, and retains its original form well, and is a noteworthy relic as a unique example of the design of the tomata and the form of the shrine building. The main shrine is a cultural property designated by the prefecture.

Shounji Temple

This is the family temple of the Tamura family, which was moved from Iwanuma to Ichinoseki in the 2nd year of the Tenna era. There is also a Tamura Memorial Hall exhibiting materials related to the Tamura family. There is a collection of Buddhist scriptures, a mausoleum for Hoshoin, the mother of Date Hyōbu Munekatsu, and in a quiet area, there are graves of generations of the Tamura family. There are also monuments in the precincts commemorating Wasan master Yushichi Tanehide Chiba and Western medicine scholar Seian Takebe.

Choshoji Temple

The drum in the main hall of Chosho-ji Temple was created during the Ichinoseki domain era by Takeaki Tamura, who asked Rojuku Abe Bungonokami to grant him permission to play the ``Taiko of Time'', which was previously restricted to the Imperial Palace, the Shogunate, and the three major families. At that time, it was envied by the neighborhood and was even described in songs as ``too much for Ichinoseki''. Currently, the second-generation drum is on display at the Shinkansen Ichinoseki Station concourse.
