Located on a hill overlooking the town center, this scenic spot features approximately 3,000 azaleas that dye the hillside bright red in early summer. Selected as one of the "100 Best Landscapes in Fukushima," the contrast between the fiery red covering the slopes and the fresh greenery is spectacular. Well-maintained walking trails lead to the summit observatory, where you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view while on a light hike. It is a hidden gem that offers dynamic colors while remaining a peaceful place for locals.

This ancient temple is said to have been founded 1,200 years ago by the great priest Kobo Daishi. The main highlight is the sacred image enshrined within a cave in a massive rock wall.
