Comment
Chikoin is the family temple of the Tagi Sakurai family, who operated a tatara ironworks, and the ceiling paintings and transom work are worth seeing. The god of ironworks is enshrined at the nearby Kanayago Shrine. Its historical value as a building that conveys ironworking from the Edo period has led to it being designated as a national historic site. The restoration was carried out using the same materials and construction methods as those used at the time.
