Hasedera Temple

3.5

"This ancient Buddhist is situated halfway up Mt. Utsubuki, symbol of Kurayoshi. The temple stands 300 meters up a steep mountain road; records state it was founded in the Nara period. The zushi miniature shrine in the main temple is one of only a very few in the San'in region to have been made in the late Muromachi period. The shrine houses an eleven-faced statue of Kannon, the temple's principal object of worship. Because of its collection of some 50 variously sized ema (votive tablets) offered to the temple between the Muromachi and Edo periods, the temple is also famously known as the ""Ema Temple."" The tablets are decorated with images which depict customs and folk beliefs from the various time periods they were made in. One of the most celebrated tablets in the temple's collection depicts a white horse which, according to legend, once ran free."

室町時代の建造物

室町時代に建てられたお寺として、有名な建造物です。ウォーキングに参加すると、三色団子として地元で有名な打吹団子が食べられます。
白馬の絵馬

打吹公園から山へ走ると見えてきたのが長谷寺でした。紫陽花で有名な長谷寺と違って、ここは白馬の絵馬が有名やそうで、歴史（年季）を感じる絵馬でした。
