Visit the adorable Jizo statues at the temple!

There are many unique Jizo statues located at the temples in Tagawa city. At Mitsui Temple, you will find Jizo statues making a "banzai" and "victory sign" pose. Don't miss the "Ganbare" Jizo at Jodoji Temple! Mitsui Temple, also known as the "wind chime temple" in the summer season is where the friendly priests have created a corridor of hand-made wind chimes that emit a beautiful sound of 2,500 different tones in the wind. You can also write a wish on the wind chimes. Please enjoy the wind chime tunnel with the cats that occasionally will greet you. In autumn the temple is surrounded by the serenity of the fall colors. In the Mitsui Temple main hall which was built as a memorial for the coal miners, you will find the enshrined "Coal Master" which is made of coal.
