Chosenji Temple

At the time of its opening in 1997, it was a Tendai sect temple called Nichiwazan Rengein Eihoji, but later changed to Kamminezan Chosenji and became a Soto sect temple. It is an ancient temple with a tradition of 900 years since its founding, and is the main temple of Monyo, which has over 20 temples including its grandsons. The Kobayama Kannon, which is enshrined in the Kannon-do hall in the precincts, is famous as the 26th temple of the Oshu 33 Kannon temples.

Surisawa Hachiman Shrine

According to the outline of Hachiman Shrine, it was built in May of the 17th year of Kan'ei era, rebuilt in August of the 3rd year of the Jokyo era, and rebuilt in August of the 13th year of the Kyoho era, and is an outstanding structure with excellent design. In addition, the ``Hachiman Shrine Monument'' in the precincts states that Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, who had a difficult time in the War of the Nine Years, prayed for Hachiman Shrine in Yamashiro and was victorious in battle, so the shrine was built and enshrined here. The main hall is a cultural property designated by the prefecture, and houses the town-designated cultural properties, such as the Warabite sword and the armor of Surisawa Hachiman Shrine.

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.
