    A garden located a seven-minute walk from Hiraizumi Station on the JR Tohoku Main Line. The Motsuji Temple has been designated a Special Historic Site and a Special Place of Scenic Beauty and, together with the adjoining Pure Land Garden, is collectively referred to as the Motsuji Temple Garden. Oizumi ga Ike pond in the center of the garden is 180 meters from east to west and 90 meters from north to south, and is still the same shape as when it was first created. Goshuin seal marks are offered at the temple shop just past the main temple gate. At the Shofuan restaurant, you can rest legs tired from walking and enjoy soba noodles as well as sweets.

A northern Tohoku prefecture promising peace and quiet, Iwate is sparsely populated, replacing people with snow-capped mountains, history-rich sites, and fields of crops that are to thank for the region’s delicious local cuisine. Meander along the three-city Golden Route, where you’ll visit the grand Buddhist temples of Hiraizumi and the Tono folk villages before tasting the three famed noodle dishes of Morioka.
