Beautifully landscaped garden and lake/pond accessible without purchasing a ticket. You can't get a good view of the temple without paying, however. The temple itself is beautiful, though that bridge crossing into it sure could use a coat of paint. Built in 1160 AD, so that's quite interesting. Good for bird watching or just a relaxed stroll but once you've been there a time or two you'll be satisfied with not going back for a while.

We have travelled Japan extensively and one of the most beautiful is a term I seldom use. It is also hard to express what makes this temple so worthwhile as the building is nothing out of the ordinary. It is the setting with a beautiful peaceful garden and its walking paths that make it jump out. In addition this region does not see many western tourists, which adds to the experience.

1160年(永暦元年)に完成した白水阿弥陀堂。願成寺の国宝。855年前に染めた木造でまだ色の跡が見える。阿弥陀堂に入ってる木造像も庭も凄い。このアルバムに願成寺、常盤神社や内郷って町の色々な写真など入ってる。
Has it been 855 years already? Amidadō at Ganjō-ji was constructed in 1160. It is a national treasure of Japan, which is to say one of the most precious of Japan’s tangible cultural assets. For a wooden structure, the hall is incredibly ancient. Inside there are also wooden statues. Some colour remains on the columns and walls, once depicting garish scenes, now faded into wispy ghosts. The horseshoe-shaped lake surrounding the hall is serene and peaceful, abounding in nature. One crosses a first bridge onto an island in the garden lake, before hopping across a smaller bridge to get to Amidadō. The wooden bridges have faded from red to pink. I suspect they were last painted sometime after 1982 when the park was cleaned up following archaeological investigations. Adjacent to the site is Ganjō-ji itself. This album also includes pictures of that – it is surrounded by a sloping cemetery, Tokiwa-jinja and random stuff that interested me in Uchigo, the nearest town.

Shiramizu Amidado is a hidden beauty when it comes to Japanese local Temple. Especially when it is lighted in leaf changing season in November this place is magic, and 100% recommendation for couples. The Temple itself is one of the oldest in Fukushima and definitely worth a visit even if you are only passing Iwaki on the Highway. Try to come when the monks are telling stories from ancient times.
