Honedera Village Manor Ruins

Not only do temples and shrines still exist exactly as depicted in the Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property, Mutsu Kokukotsuji Village Picture Map, but the surrounding environment and landscape are extremely well-preserved, making it a great place to stand on the spot and experience the world depicted in the map. As a very rare ruin that can be known, it was designated as a national historic site in March 2005, and in July 2006, it was selected as the second important cultural landscape in the country.
