Jorinji Temple, located a 15-minute walk from JR Shiroishi Station, is a historic temple founded in 1325. Known for its striking vermilion-lacquered Ryugu-style gate, the temple houses the 'time-telling drum' formerly used at Shiroishi Castle. Jorinji is also famous for its early-blooming Edo Higan cherry trees, making it a beautiful spot to visit in spring. The temple, associated with the Katakura clan, offers a serene atmosphere and a glimpse into the area's history. The temple's main hall and grounds provide a peaceful setting for contemplation.
