This was my first postcard from Japan and arrived through Postcrossing. I was extremely happy when I received it because it's not the most popular site of Japan. This property is a group of five sites

| Chūson-ji |
This postcard was sent by Toshio
Chūson-ji is a Buddhist temple in Hiraizumi, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. It is the head temple of the Tendai sect in Tōhoku (northeastern Japan). The Tendai sect claims that the temple was founded in 850 by Ennin, the third chief abbot of the sect.
The Konjiki-dō or 'Golden Hall' is a mausoleum containing the mummified remains of the leaders of the Northern Fujiwara clan who ruled much of northern Japan in the 12th century. It is one of two buildings that survive from the original Chūson-ji temple complex, the other being a sutra repository. - in: wikipedia
