About this event
Hatsumode at Chuson-ji, the Tohoku head temple of the Tendai sect forming the core of the World Heritage site 'Hiraizumi'. Over 3,000 National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties, including the Konjikido (Golden Hall), have been preserved here. The 'Eternal Dharma Lamp' burning in the main hall has remained lit continuously for nearly a thousand years since being divided and transferred from Mount Hiei, offering quiet inspiration to visitors on their New Year pilgrimage. Welcoming the new year, it serves as a precious opportunity to feel the depth of history and faith with a fresh mindset.
