Hasedera Temple
The main hall's interior shrine is an important cultural property and one of the few remaining structures from the late Muromachi period in the San'in region. Inside the stage-style hall, approximately 50 votive tablets (ema) are dedicated, depicting customs and popular beliefs from the Muromachi period to the Meiji era. Among these, the legendary white horse ema is particularly notable.
