Taishi-do Temple (井波別院瑞泉寺 太子堂)
This temple hall was rebuilt in 1918 using the skills of Inami carving. The multi-story temple is roughly 29 meters on a side, with a total area of 840 square meters, and in the center of the main hall lies the foundation stone bestowed by Emperor Go-Komatsu, and a statue of the two year old Prince Shotoku bequeathed by Shakunyo. The two side shrines hold images of the founding abbot Shakunyo and Zensui-ji temple's former abbots. Every July 21-29, they hold a Taishiden-e ceremony.

Toyama Areas
Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
