After going to Koma to take a railway photo of Mt. Iwate back, I visited Kannon in Mido on my way home.
Because I also used the toilet.
Mido Kannondo is a temple located in the suburbs of Morioka City.

It is a 40-minute drive from Morioka City.
This Kannon is also known as a place where NHK's Tochako is introduced, the largest river in Tohoku, the source point of the Kitakami River, and the Yuhazu no Izumi.
A Kannon-do surrounded by cedar trees and hiding.
If it weren't for the river station in Iwate-cho, which was installed on the river street in front, I would probably pass by.
The temple, which would have flourished in the past, has disappeared in modern times, and it is a remote temple with one hall that is common in temples in the north of the prefecture.
The temple gate at the entrance of the precincts has a slightly different shape, and it has a good atmosphere of saying that it is a Kannon of local faith.
A guardian dog with a goggle eyes will welcome you.
For the scale, the awarding office is also firmly set up, and there is also a goshuin while writing down.
It is a midwinter Mido where you can not feel the movement except for a moment of warmth in the sunlight shining into the white snow and the smoked green forest of larch at this time.
