Please try visiting Iwanai's oldest temple, "Jodo-shu Kikoin." The size of the Great Buddha, completed in the Taisho 10th year, with a height of 6.8m, made of wood, entirely gold leaf coated, is, simply, overwhelming.
It is said to be the largest wooden Great Buddha north of Tokyo, and in the Showa 44th year, it has been designated as Iwanai Town Tangible Cultural Property No. 1. 7 minutes on foot from the roadside station. It is on "Teramachi Street," where temples stand in a row.
