Hiraizumi's History

Monument to Minamoto no Yoshitsune

There is no section for Hiraizumi on VT so I have to stick to its region, Iwate. Hiraizumi is the place where Minamoto Yoshitsune met his tragic end, and those of you who are into Japanese history/myths etc will know that Benkei, his faithful retainer, died protecting his right to die with honour. Hiraizumi now is a small peaceful country town where not much goes on, but if you are passing through it's worth stopping for the lovely sights that are here.

A lovely garden, quiet and peaceful but not too small, a good place to stroll around and soak up the peace and quiet of the countryside.
