Motsuji Temple [World Heritage Site]

Motsu-ji Temple, a separate head temple of the Tendai sect, is called Iiozan (Mt. Iio) and was founded by the great priest Jikaku in 850. In the late Heian period (794-1185), Motohira (the second Fujiwara lord of Oshu) and Hidehira (the third Fujiwara lord of Oshu) built a magnificent temple complex, including Kondo Enryu-ji and Kasho-ji. Although the temple buildings of those days were regrettably destroyed by fire due to repeated disasters, the " Pure Land Garden" centering on Oizumigaike Pond and the remains of Heian-period temple buildings have been preserved in almost perfect condition and have been designated as both a Special Historic Site and a Special Place of Scenic Beauty by the national government.
