    Ishikawa Kaga-shi
    This is a temple in the Kaga Soto Buddhist school, known locally as Shirahagi no Tera. The name comes from the post-death Buddhist name of Maeda Toshiharu, the first lord of the Daishoji Domain. Daisho-ji temple is said to be a place near the border with Echizen where temples were intentionally gathered together. This area has seven temples and one shrine, and is called the Yamanoshita temple area, and Jissho-in Temple is one of those. It is the historical family temple of the lords of the Daishoji Domain, and the mortuary chapel venerating the family's ancestors is a stunning sight. In autumn, the grounds bloom with hagi flowers, bringing in crowds of sightseers and photographers.

    Ishikawa Pref. Kagashi Katayamaduonsen Otsu 63 In Yuan's former park
    "An unusual Buddhist temple built on Shibayama Lagoon in the Katayamazu Onsen hot spring village. Connected to the shore by a bridge, the temple is also known by its nickname, the ""Ukiuki Benten"" (""Floating Benten Temple""). Legend has it that when a huge serpent was laying waste to the lakes of Katayamazu, Bhaisajyaguru sent the goddess Benten to suppress it, and in connection with this story, the temple is dedicated to the dragon king and Benten. A large fountain system has been built out on the lack behind the temple; the fountain, along with the bridge and temple, are lit up at night, creating a magical atmosphere."

    片山津温泉の柴山潟に浮かぶお堂。桟橋を渡って参拝することができる。天気が良ければきっと気持ちのいい散策が楽しめるはずだが、訪問時はあいにくの天気でちょっと残念だった。

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
