Exploring National Treasures and Autumn Foliage in Hiraizumi, Iwate・4K HDR

🕒 11/04 10am 🌡️ 12℃ 🚶‍♂️5km During my autumn journey around Tohoku, I made a stop at Hiraizumi town in Iwate Prefecture. This town is known for its multiple National Treasure sites, and during my two-hour stop, I had the chance to visit the beautiful Motsu-ji temple. The temple features a stunning pond surrounded by maple trees, which were perfectly red on the day I visited. To start my visit, I headed out from Hiraizumi station and walked to Kumanosansha shrine before making my way to Kanjizaiō-in pond and the neighboring Motsu-ji temple. After taking in the sights, I returned to the station and started walking towards the Takadachi-gikeidō pavilion. However, the walk took longer than I anticipated, so I ended up flying around instead. Found 3 cats 😹😹😹 🗺️ 🏃‍♂️
