Gan-nyu-ji Temple, located in Oarai Town, is a historical temple founded by the grandson of Saint Shinran. It houses designated cultural assets such as a statue of Amida Nyorai and an image of Saint Shinran, as well as an incense container. The temple grounds contain various valuable items. The huge bell, said to be the largest in the Kanto region, and the evening glow of Ganshosen, one of the "Mito Eight Views," are also highlights. Visitors can also receive a hodo (Buddhist lamp) from the head priest. A must-see for history buffs and Buddhist fans!
