The temple at Chusonji was built in 850 and other temples were added by Lord Fujiwara in 1126. The Cedar trees are 400 yrs old plus. The actual golden (Chuson-ji temple) cannot be photographed but the building which covers the gold plated temple is shown here. Chusonji is at Hiraizumi approx 1 hr 30 min north of Sendai on the express way. It was a very very wet day when Chieko took me to see the temples.
