Kanjizaio-in Temple Ruins

These ruins are located on Motsuji-dori Street in Shirayama, Hiraizumi, Hiraizumi Town, Nishiiwai County. The temple was said to have been erected by the wife of Motohira, the second generation of the Oshu Fujiwara family. Although the temple was completely destroyed, based on the results of an excavation, restoration was carried out mainly on the remains of the Jodo Garden. It makes up one of the components of the “Hiraizumi – Temples, Gardens and Archaeological Sites Representing the Buddhist Pure Land” UNESCO world heritage site.
