Gandenji Temple

Gandenji Temple

Legend has it that this old temple was founded by two Buddhist priests, Tokudo and Gyoki. It's also the 2nd temple of "The Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage". When you pass the temple gate, there is a stone tablet inscribed with the writings of Izumi Kyoka; on the left side of the main hall, the principal image of the eleven-faced Kannon is enshrined. If you climb the 130 stone steps from there, you'll find the old Kannon hall on a hill, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the entire area.

Ryokusuian

Ryokusuian

It was built in the early Showa era and relocated and restored in 1991 to the Minoge district of Hadano City. In April 2020, it was registered as a national tangible cultural property as a relic related to leaf tobacco cultivation. It is an important building for learning about farmhouse architecture in the early Showa era. The structure is in an architectural style typical of tobacco farmers at the time, with four rooms in the shape of a square. Agricultural tools and daily necessities are also displayed on the dirt floor, making it a valuable learning facility. We also offer villager experiences, rice harvesting, moon-viewing parties, etc. There are also regular hikes around the area.

This event is held every year from early February to mid-March in the Yugawara Plum Grove (Makuyama Park). On the foot slope of "Makuyama" where magnificent natural scenery can be seen throughout the four seasons, approximately 4,000 red and white plum trees bloom like a carpet of plum blossoms, and fill the park with the fragrance of plum blossoms, allowing you to enjoy a "plum blossom banquet".Mt. Makuyama has roughly 4,000 plum trees that bloom red and white. The park holds its Umenoen event, a plum blossom festival when the flowers reach their peak. The plum grove is lit up at night, offering a completely different scene from the day.
