Mishōji Temple

A temple where Kenji Miyazawa's grave is located. The main hall is located near Gindoro Park and is located at the top of a narrow stone staircase. Kenji's funeral was held at Anjo-ji Temple (Otani sect of Jodo Shinshu sect), but it is said that he was later reinterred at Mishō-ji Temple. The tombstone is located at the back of the main hall, and it is said that fresh flowers will never run out. In spring, the weeping cherry blossoms on the grounds are spectacular.

A Western-style building surrounded by a forest of broadleaf trees and conifers. Inside the store, you can experience making things such as blown glass and tonbo beads (glass beads made from melted colored glass rods), as well as selling glass products made in the workshop on the spot.
