For a fascinating history lesson, check out the crumbling remnants of Muryokoin Ruins and imagine how it must have looked in its heyday.
Muryokoin Ruins is an interesting place to start out your day in Hiraizumi. This once-important structure is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Chuson-ji Temple, Genbikei Gorge, and Motsu-Ji Temple to really enjoy what the area has to offer.
