This is the only building in Fukushima Prefecture designated as a National Treasure, built in the late Heian period. Its elegantly curved roof and the surrounding "Jodo-shiki" (Pure Land style) garden transport visitors to a 12th-century vision of paradise. The sight of lotus flowers in early summer and vibrant maples in autumn reflecting on the pond is like a glimpse of heaven on earth. It is a serene space where the essence of Japanese Buddhist art harmonizes with the changing seasons.

Fukushima

Ogawa Suwa Shrine

This shrine is famous for its majestic, giant weeping cherry tree, which is over 500 years old. Its branches droop so beautifully that they almost reach the ground, and at full bloom in spring, it creates a dreamlike vision of cascading pale pink flowers. Illuminated at night, the tree radiates a sacred aura that has quietly watched over the area's long history. In the mild climate of Iwaki, you can fully enjoy a landscape where traditional Japanese faith and the vitality of nature merge.

Ibaraki

Rokkakudo

Perched on a rocky outcrop jutting into the Pacific Ocean, this red hexagonal hall was designed by Tenshin Okakura, the father of modern Japanese art, as a place for contemplation. The sight of the vermilion architecture harmonizing with the crashing white waves is as beautiful as a traditional painting. Here, you can imagine what the great scholar thought while listening to the tides as he worked to introduce Eastern aesthetics to the world. Experience the unique Japanese sense of beauty where history and natural energy intersect in profound silence.

Ibaraki

Kitaibaraki City

Located at the northernmost tip of Ibaraki, this city features a coastline so beautiful it inspired generations of artists. The "Rokkaku-do," a red hexagonal hall perched on the edge of the sea, was a place of meditation for the famous scholar Tenshin Okakura. The city is also the birthplace of "Ankou Nabe" (monkfish hot pot), attracting foodies every winter. Listening to the waves while soaking in a hot spring offers a deep sense of healing for the soul.
