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.

Suga Shusai Spirit Tower

Fukujuzan Anrakuji Temple (Matsumori, Iwashimizu, Senmaya Town) was founded over 1,070 years ago by Shusai Suga, the fourth son of Michizane Sugawara, the Minister of the Right, to enshrine the spirit of his father.In the back mountain, there is a statue of Sugawara, the god of learning. The spirit pagodas of Michizane and Michizane's fourth son Shusai Suga are standing side by side. In the memorial tablet hall at the back of the main hall, there is enshrined a memorial tablet of Shusai Suga with the name ``Fukujuinden Yasmine Shoraku Daikoji'' engraved on it. This is the spirit tower of Michizane Sugawara, the god of learning, and Shusai Suga, Michizane's fourth son, where parents and children who died far apart in Fukuoka and Iwate prefectures are lined up in the land of Senmaya.
