Entsuji Temple (Former Site of the Tōnan Domain Government)

Overview

Entsuji Temple in Mutsu, Aomori, stands on the former site of the Tōnan Domain government, offering a poignant glimpse into the history of the Aizu clan following the Boshin War. Exiled to the Shimokita Peninsula, the Aizu clan was permitted to re-establish themselves as the Tōnan Domain. Entsuji Temple served as the domain's government office in 1871. While the original buildings are no longer standing, the temple provides a place for quiet reflection. Visitors can explore the grounds and contemplate the historical significance of this site. Easily accessible by car from Shimokita Station on the JR Ōminato Line.
