Haguro Five-story Pagoda is located in the grounds of Haguro Shrine, and is said to have been first built by "Taira no Masakado" in the Heian period, a place with a history of over 1000 years 📍 The current pagoda was rebuilt 600 years ago, but it is a precious five-story pagoda that was built without using a single nail, and is a place of great significance in the east. It is the only designated national treasure in the north 🇯🇵 To get to this tower, go down the long staircase from the entrance of this shrine called Zuishinmon Gate and walk for about 10 minutes ⏳ At the end of the quiet road, this tower suddenly appears and gives off an indescribably solemn atmosphere, which is very moving.
