Hakusuizu Amidado Hall (白水阿弥陀堂)

Flow of the course

About this spot

One of the few National Treasure buildings remaining in the Tohoku region, built in the late Heian period. The Amidado Hall standing in front of a Pure Land garden pond is a precious architectural work that conveys the worldview of Pure Land Buddhism of that era, presenting a serene appearance throughout the seasons. Inside the hall are enshrined Buddhist statues, including the principal image of Amida Tathagata, allowing you to experience its high historical value up close. It is known as a historically significant attraction in Iwaki's sightseeing.

Tips

The path from the parking lot to the temple grounds is mostly flat and easy to walk. An admission fee is required to enter the hall. In the morning, mosquitoes tend to appear around the pond, so insect repellent is recommended. It's best to check the opening hours in advance.

Best time to visit

Approximately 45 minutes. You can enjoy a quiet, leisurely visit in the calm morning hours.
