Manzoji Temple

Hayama Glasses Bridge

Hayama Megane Bridge, which spans the Kesen River that flows through Sumita Town, is an arch-shaped concrete bridge built in 1930. On the northbound route of Yoshitsune, there are legends such as ``Footprints of Benkei'' and ``A semi-official pine tree.'' The surrounding area is Hayama Meganebashisui Park, which is maintained so that you can enjoy nature.

Koshoji Temple

According to legend, it was founded during the Fujiwara Hidehira era, when an Amida-do hall was built for the Horiko clan who produced gold. After that, it was burnt down, relocated and rebuilt, and burned down repeatedly, but the Amida Sanzon (a prefecturally designated cultural property) surprisingly survived. The main image of Amida Nyorai is made of marquetry, and the side Buddha statue is made of a single piece of wood, both of which were made in the late Heian period. It also has a deep relationship with Hiraizumi.

Roadside station “Taneyamagahara Poran”

Taneyamagahara, also called Mt. Mt. Mt. Miyazawa, is a plateau that Kenji Miyazawa loved very much. Kenji wrote ``Night on the Galactic Railway'' and ``Kaze no Matasaburo'', as well as many poems and tanka, based on the scenery and weather here. Roadside Station Taneyamagahara Poran is located near the entrance to Taneyamagahara, which is located at a relay point on National Route 397 that connects the southern part of the prefecture with the coast. The rest facility "Poran" is designed to resemble a star, and was built by Kesen carpenters who are proud of their traditional skills using wood sourced within the town. It is a great place to find souvenirs, with a variety of specialty products grown in the rich natural environment.
