Amidaji Temple, located near Nanukamachi Station in Aizuwakamatsu, offers a poignant glimpse into the region's history. The temple is a memorial to those who died in the Boshin War and the Satsuma Rebellion, and also houses the grave of Hajime Saito, the leader of the 3rd unit of the Shinsengumi. A unique highlight is the 'O-sanga', a three-story structure moved from Tsuruga Castle's main enclosure. While the interior is not accessible, the exterior provides a fascinating look at historical architecture. This temple is a must-visit for history enthusiasts exploring the Aizu region.
