Hakogi Sennenya

The oldest existing private house in Japan, designated as a National Important Cultural Property. The texture of wood hewn with a hatchet still remains on the floor and door panels. The 8-meter-high gabled roof and massive thatched roof are a sight to behold. This is a spot where visitors can feel the history!

Wakaoji Shrine

A short walk from the main hall leads to Wakaoji Shrine, the guardian hall shrine of Mudoji Temple. It is designated as a National Important Cultural Property.
Built-in the sangensha nagare-zukuri style (three-bay wide structure with a gable roof), it is rare that the shrine’s hard-shingle roofing is still in place.
The Sun and Greenery Road continues eastward from Mudoji Temple to Seidoji Temple.
