Shirawami Butsuden (White Water Amida Hall)
〒973-8405 福島県いわき市内郷白水町広畑２２１
The only designated National Treasure structure in Fukushima Prefecture, the shrine grounds, which include a Jodo-style (Pure Land) garden, are designated as a National Historic Site. It is an important Buddhist hall that preserves the architectural style of the late Heian period.
History
Built in 1160 CE during the late Heian period, the hall was established by Toki-hime, the wife of Iwaki Norimichi, to pray for the repose of her husband's soul. Toki-hime founded a temple named Gansoji (Temple of Fulfilled Wishes) to honor her husband and constructed the Amida Hall within its grounds. Later, it was designated as a Chogonji (a temple receiving imperial patronage) by Emperor Go-Toba. During the Edo period, it received temple lands from the Tokugawa shogunate and was protected by successive rulers.
