| Comment |
Sohkoh-ji, a Zen temple of the
Soutou sect, was built in 1384 during the Nanbokucho Period over
600 years ago. It was founded by the priest Getsuan Ryoen and built
by Sato Masanobu, who was the governor of Ise. Located east of the
shoin (library), the Horai-en garden dates back to the Edo Period
and was designated a scenic location by the Japanese government
in 1996. The "mushroom cedar" in front of the temple was
designated a natural monument by Yamagata Prefecture in 1956. |
