/Oizumi-ga-ike Pond in Motsu-ji Temple
Hiraizumi prospered over about 100 years in the late Heian period (the 11th century - the 12th century).Based on the Baddhist Pure Land thought,
Temple and garden were built during the period. It registered with the World Cultural Heritage in 2011.
Motsu-ji Temple grounds still contain many foundation stones and other relics
from the Doto Monastery, which was erected during the Heian period.
The garden, which is centered around Oizumiga-Ike Pond,
also provides evidence of the original form of the graceful landscape from the Heian period.
As one of the most important sites in Japan's garden history,
Motsuji's temple garden has been excavated and fully restored to its original state.
