Moroyama Hachyouji Temple
会津若松市河東町広野冬木沢２０８
A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism, also known as Aizu Takayama. The grounds feature the Amida Hall, designated as an Important Cultural Property, and the traditional custom of 'Fuyukisawa Mairi' (Winter Wood Valley Pilgrimage) for the consolation of the deceased.
History
The temple's origins are said to date back to 964 CE (Kōhō 1), when the monk Kūyō visited this site and established a hall to enshrine the Buddha Amida and sacred scriptures. It was burned down in 1589 CE (Tenshō 17) by Date Masamune but was rebuilt during the Bunroku era (1592–1596). It is also known by alternative names such as Aizu Sōbaidasho (Aizu General Bodhi Site) and Aizu Takayama.

What visitors say
The temple grounds exude a quiet and solemn atmosphere, featuring a beautiful Amida Hall with a thatched roof and irimoya-style structure, along with five-element stupas and lanterns lining the approach path. From the grounds, one can view Mount Bandai in the distance, and the scenery is particularly beautiful during cherry blossom season. A parking lot is located just before the temple, and the area becomes lively before the Obon festival due to the Fuyukisawa Mairi custom.
