Morning Plan for Hiraizumi

An ancient temple designated as a World Heritage site. Observe the majestic temple and take a stroll through a famous garden that has been dubbed “the world of Buddha expressed on Earth”.

Located next to Motsu-ji Temple, this is another garden representing Paradise. The garden, which was built according to the methods described in what is considered to be the oldest book concerning gardens in Japan, is a valuable place that has been recognized as a World Heritage site.

The cultural heritage of Hiraizumi is explained in detail through panel displays and video. There are also explanations and pamphlets in English.
