Chusonji Temple
平泉町平泉大沢
A Tendaishu sect temple located in Hiraizumi Town, Iwate Prefecture, and one of the constituent assets of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Hiraizumi: The Temples and Gardens of the Buddhist Pure Land.' It is characterized by its Pure Land garden from the Heian period and well-preserved ruins, such as the site of the Kondo (Golden Hall).
History
Traditionally founded in 850 CE (Kajo 3) by Ennin. Subsequently, a grand monastic complex was rebuilt by the Oshu Fujiwara clan, specifically by the father and son Kiyoira and Hideshira. The temple declined due to warfare during the Sengoku period but received protection from the Date clan during the Edo period. In the Meiji and Taisho eras, the current main hall and mountain gate were established.
