Bai-ji Temple
Maiji Temple, the second temple of the Hokuriku Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage, is said to have been founded by Prince Shōtoku. Its principal image, a wooden seated statue of the Horse-Head Kannon, is designated a National Important Cultural Property. Beyond the mountain gate, in front of the temple office, visitors can find attractions such as the Sen-ishi stone, said to bring good fortune when stepped on, and hundreds of stone Buddha statues to the right of the main hall. The temple is also popular for its cherry blossoms, autumn foliage, and the picturesque scenery along its atmospheric approach path.
