羽賀寺

Hagaji temple stands at the foot of a hill, featuring a main hall that houses multiple Buddhist statues carved from Japanese cypress wood.

Founded by priest Gyoki under Empress Gensho's order in 716, the temple underwent several reconstructions with the current main hall dating from 1447.

The central Juuichi-men Kannon Bosatsu statue, created in the early 10th century, represents an essential element of Japanese Buddhist sculptural heritage.

Located 3.5 kilometers north-northeast from Obama station, visitors can access the temple through a 5-kilometer road journey by bicycle or car.

The temple belongs to the Hachikaji group, a collection of eight ancient temples in Obama that possess national and prefectural cultural designations.
