For more information, access, and reviews about Chuson-ji Temple:
The temple of the Fujiwara clan that had enjoyed 100 unbroken years of prosperity before becoming mired in war. The Golden Hall, created under the aegis of the founder of the Northern Fujiwaras, Kiyohira, must be seen as a hidden treasure that illustrated Paradise and prayed for peace.

【English】All About Hiraizumi ＃6 Halls and Buildings of Chuson-ji Temple
Kanzan Chuson-ji, is the head temple of the Tohoku area, of the Tendai sect.
Chuson-ji is not the name of one temple hall, but includes the whole mountain surrounding the main area, with 17 branch halls such as Daichojuin, Ganjojuin, etc.
Each hall differs from the others and there is a variety of principle deities.
The Main Hall of Chuson-ji represents the whole mountain. The hall was rebuilt in 1909 and since then, many traditional religious services have been held there.
The front gate of the Main Hall is of a type called Yakuimon.
Originally it stood as the gate of the residence of Date Munekatsu (later lord of Ichinoseki), but was transferred to Chuson-ji in 1959.
Sutras were kept in the Sutra Repository, thought to have been originally a two storeyed building. It was destroyed in a fire and then rebuilt in its present form, using original surviving timber.
The Former Konjikido Shelter Hall is thought to have been designed in the Muromachi era and covered the Golden Hall, protecting it until 1963.
After standing dutifully for several hundred years, now the Former Konjikido Shelter Hall itself has become a valuable building.
The Ganjojuin Pagoda, standing by the Mineyakushi Hall is one of the masterpieces of stone sculptures ins Chuson-ji. The lower part is in the style of single pagoda but the upper part is that of a five-tiered stone pagoda. This style is only seen in Chuson-ji and thus is called a 'Hiraizumi Pagoda'.

[DOTJPN 2015] The Stone 015 - Around Hiraizumi 1 , Chusonji
The town where Hiraizumi is in Iwate-ken in Tohoku-district. I went to from Tokyo to the place left big this time. It's shared with twice and it's introduced.
I went in the second half March, it was snowing, and it was a little very cold. But the true form of the Japanese area might be seen.
To do the world's cultural and natural heritage registration of Hiraizumi with what was a person really little?
Fortunately, very quiet and ancient Japan could be felt deeply, and it was best! When I was walking the approach to Shrine circled by Sugi's high trees so that it wasn't believed, it was time-travelled feeling.
The grandmother in the middle of farming, Don't catch the cold which would be cold., I was very happy to have spoken.

Motsu-ji ( Hiraizumi Town )
( Special historic site; special place of scenic beauty )
Originally established in 850, Motsu-ji flourished during the peaceful Golden Culture which lasted for about a century under Motohira and Hidehira, the second and third lords of the Fujiwara clan. Motsu-ji was one of the most renowned spiritual places in Japan, with over 40 temple buildings, 500 monk residences, and the grand Kondo Enryuji Temple. Regrettably, none of the original structures remain today due to repeated fires; what remain today are sites of foundations, cornerstones, mounds, corridors, gates, and halls, as well as the site of Kondo Enryuji Temple. The Jokodo Hall we see today was rebuilt in 1732. There is a treasure museum with various displays such as Buddhist images, writings, craftwork, equipment used in the Ennen no Mai dance, and excavation data.
The beautiful Heian-style garden is designated as a special place of scenic beauty. In the center of the garden is Oizumi ga Ike Pond, about 10,000 m² in size. This is the only Heian-period structural site in Japan with a remaining yarimizu aqueduct.
Chuson-ji ( Hiraizumi Town )
Chuson-ji was built as the foundation of a peaceful Buddhism-based realm. After decades of warfare ravaged Tohoku ( northern Honshu ) in the late eleventh century, the only major power left standing was Fujiwara no Kiyohira, founder of the Oshu Fujiwara line and Hiraizumi. War-weary Kiyohira began his temple on this site in the early twelfth century, building a complex of halls and pagodas to pacify and memorialize all those who had died in battle, friend and foe alike. In 1124, he dedicated the Konjikido, the golden hall that is Chuson-ji's crown jewel and a Japanese National Treasure. The Konjikido represents the pinnacle of Heian ( 794-1192 ) artistic achievement, and one of more than 3000 National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties housed here. Many of these are on display in Chuson-ji's museum, the Sankozo, located next to the Konjikido.
This region was a major gold producer, as attested by the Konjikido. In fact, the radiant sparkle of the golden hall in the days before it was covered by a protective outer building ( Sheath Hall ) may have inspired Marco Polo to write of islands of gold and silver in his Travels.
Numerous Buddhas guard the hall's daises, in which lie the remains of the four generations of the Oshu Fujiwara. The bodies of Kiyohira, Motohira, and Hidehira, and the head of Yasuhira remain here in peace, mirroring in death the peace they sought and largely attained in life until Minamoto no Yoritomo, founder of the Kamakura shogunate, sent armies against Hiraizumi in the late 1180s. The conflict arose when Hiraizumi harbored Yoritomo's brother, Yoshitsune, whom Yoritomo hunted as a traitor. Yoshitsune's legendary military prowess and tragic life have made him Japan's most enduring folk hero. It was with the rise and fall of Hiraizumi and Yoshitsune in mind that haiku master Matsuo Basho wrote the following on a stopover here in 1689:
The summer grass / 'Tis all that's left / Of ancient warrior's dreams
( translated by Nitobe Inazo )
Written exactly 500 years from Yoritomo's defeat of Hiraizumi, this poem is a tribute to the power of Hiraizumi's memory. Perhaps even more impressive is the Chuson-ji Lotus that now blooms on the temple grounds. This unique variety was resurrected from a lotus seed found in the head casket of Yasuhira, returning to life after a slumber of eight centuries.
Chuson-ji is the Tohoku seat of the Tendai sect of Japanese Buddhism, and in its main hall ( a 1909 reconstruction ) burns an eternal flame shared from that which has burned for 1200 years at Tendai's chief temple, Enryakuji ( outside Kyoto ) .

【English】All about Hiraizumi #62 Chuson-ji Chrysanthemum Festival
On October 20th, the 27th Chuson-ji Chrysanthemum Festival started with an opening service at the Main Hall. More than 500 pots of chrysanthemums were displayed in front of the Main Hall, along the Main Approach and at the open space in front of Konjikido.
The chrysanthemums on display were all lovingly grown by enthusiasts. There are many different types of chrysanthemums, such as 'Atsumono' with layers of incurved petals like scales and 'Kudamono' which has tubular petals. There's also a way to grow them called Kengai, in which the stalks are trained to grow lower than their roots forming a cascade of blooms and Senrin in which the flowers are trained to form a dome. Chrysanthemums can also be enjoyed as models or as bonsai.
Chuson-ji Chrysanthemum Festival was started as part of the memorial service for the 800th anniversary of the death of third Fujiwara lord Hidehira, Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Musashibo Benkei. To start with, only chrysanthemum lovers from around Hiraizumi took part, but recently enthusiasts from as far away as Morioka City and Miyagi Prefecture have also taken part and now it is one of the significant chrysanthemum festivals of Iwate. The Chrysanthemum Festival lasts until November 15th.
The chrysanthemum is the national flower of Japan and has always been much loved. How would you like to look at them together with the changing Autumn colours?

Chuson-ji [ One day trip to Hiraizumi and Geibikei ]
Then we headed for Chūson-ji, which was a mere 5 minute drive from Mōtsū-ji. The two seemed very fascinated with everything about Chūson-ji, taking pictures everywhere. We listened to the audio guide at Konjikido (Golden Hall), and they were very impressed saying It was really something that everything was shining gold and It is incredible that they made this in the 12th century and it has survived until now.
We took a walk on Tsukimizaka Slope (Main Approach) and the whole time, they were smiling saying It is such a beautiful day and it feels so good to walk.
For lunch, we enjoyed the Mochi Dishes (cooked sticky rice) at Nokachaya located in front of Chūson-ji's main gate. The lunch set included Mochi, Hittsumi (vegetable soup with hand-cut noodles, chicken, carrots, burdock, shiitake mushrooms and leeks) and tempura. The Hiraizumi/Ichinoseki areas have a long history of Mochi Cuisine. Their Mochi Cuisine, which allows you to enjoy various flavors of Mochi with different condiments such as Zunda (paste made out of soybeans), Anko (bean paste) and Natto (fermented soybeans), is also very popular.
We recommend that you take the eco-friendly rental bikes or a Velotaxi. You can rent bikes in front of Hiraizumi Station.
